Is anyone following that topic on the Chinese forum? Hope springs eternal in the human breast, hehe.

Add: esp. anyone actually speaking Chinese, as it's pretty hard to read it using just Google Translate.

Actually, I can read the Chinese. But I don't see any definitive signs saying that 2.1 will come for I7500. All it says is the current 1.5 doesn't support bluetooth, but a newer firmware which will come out in May, will support bluetooth.

The title is as translated, but does that mean 2.1 will come out? I most definitely hope that is the case, especially 'cause I want a Chinese 2.1, but we shall see.

I think the new X10 supports BT transfer and stuff, but it's still on 1.6, probably cos SE added their own drivers and did some tweaking. Perhaps Samsung would do that?
