froyo update for samsung i5500

[eddyboi]

i winder why uk is like the last country to get the update you would expect it to be one of the first

 

[eddyboi]

will the phone get multitouch with the upgrade to 2.2

No it will not. Whether a phone has multitouch is pretty much defined by its hardware. The Galaxy i5500 does not have the hardware to support multitouch.

Depending on where you bought it, it might not be a Belgian phone at all. I bought mine as a deal in the Aldi, which are apparently German phones (Aldi bought them through Medion is what the label on the box says).

But yeah, I'm still waiting as well.

Also if its branded/unbranded might help.

Oh ok same story here then. I also bought mine in the Aldi. But how u mean as a deal? Together with their mobile network? Or just for a nice price? I got mine just for the nice price and its also with the medion label on the box.

I also bought mine in the Aldi. But how u mean as a deal?

Deal as in:
a) it's not one of their regular products, hence it's a "deal".
b) I bought mine when they knocked some more of the price after a month.

On a side note: of course I didn't sign up for their mobile network. I'm a Mobile Vikings user, can't beat MV when it comes to Internet over phone.

Hi folks,

I have recently got the Europa and I keep hearing that 2.2 is available to download through Kies!

Kies says that this version of the device cannot be updated!

My firmware is PDA:JJ6 / PHONE:JG3 / CSC:JJ3 (XEU)

Please help!

Thankyou.

It seems it is being slowly rolled out country by country, network by network. So far in the UK it seems to only be available on T-Mobile as of last week.
Hopefully patience will pay off for all eventually.

I'm on o2 and I got it last week (see above)

Do you have the latest Kies?

I updated thru that.

Kies says that this version of the device cannot be updated!

As far as I remember from reading these forum, that message is what you get when you have a phone that has a non-standard firmware already.

You're supposed to get a message saying: "You already have the latest firmware" (or something similar).

Is 2.2 available on kies yet for 02?

It should be from what I've read here. Considering you posted earlier that your Kies says "This device can not be updated" rather than "You already have the latest firmware" I'd advice you to look at my earlier post (http://androidforums.com/samsung-galaxy-europa-5/249130-froyo-update-samsung-i5500.html#post2730067).
