I am now on the verge of buying the new Samsung i7500 as soon as it hits the market in Finland. I have a one question though: will I be able to update the phone to a new OS (2.0 etc.) when released? Does the phone do it by itself or do I have to do it manually? As far as I know Google has thought this trough thurrely but it would be nice to have some kind of confirmation.
There would be no reason not to update any phone if a release is made available. Like any other carrier, the update will almost certainly be released OTA(over the air); however the final approval will probably be left up to the carrier. Although I was able to receive an OTA direct from Google on my G1 that didn't have a SIM loaded up. Food for thought.
