Because they did it with froyo update, first it was february than it was by the end of april, some countries got the update some are still hanging and won't recieve it at all. Good thing we have stuff like XDA and Samfirmware...

well but froyo got released at least in most locations, so I think we'll get gingerbread as well.
I'm so optimistic ^^

I've sent amother e-mail to samsung, just to be on the save side. They still say gb is in development, but now they don't give a date for the release. So it might take some time untill we see an official gb rom for G3

Sorry to break your bubble, but do NOT expect Samsung to release another upgrade for our mobile. But do not be disheartened. If you are keen on running Gingerbread on your phone, head over to this thread. A couple of developers are right now in the process of porting 2.3 (CyanogenMod) for us, and have even released an Alpha version. Feel free to give it a try :).

I'm still of the opinion that if samsung doesn't plan to release GB for the G3 they wouldn't keep telling us that they're going to do it.
I'll give the cyanogenmod port a try as soon as it's beta ;)
Let's see what happens first, a GB rom from samsung or CM port for G3 reaching beta :D

    Maybe we should say to Samsung developers to fork Marcellube port so the will do something right and quickly.:)
    Or they could just hire Marcellube.:p

    The second option is the best :p

    This is the e-mail that I sent to samsung:
    Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren,
    ist ein update für das Samsung galaxy 3 auf die androidversion 2.3.4 (gingerbread) geplant und wenn ja, wann kann man mit dem update rechnen?
    roughly in englisch I just asked if and when gingerbread comes to the G3
    When sending a request you also have to choose to which mobile phone your request refers.
    The answer:
    Sehr geehrter Herr [...],

    vielen Dank für Ihre Anfrage.

    Ein genauer Erscheinungstermin zu dem Update auf Android 2.3 Gingerbread liegt uns derzeit noch nicht vor.
    Vorraussichtlich wird das Update Ende des 2. Quartals über unsere Software "Kies" verfügbar sein. Daher
    bitten wir um Ihr Verständnis und Ihre Geduld.

    Bei weiteren Fragen können Sie uns gern kontaktieren.

    which means in englisch that they plan to release the update within the second quarter of this year. (but she didn't explicit mention the G3 )

    W odpowiedzi na zgłoszenie pragniemy poinformować:

    iż data aktualizacji do nowego systemu operacyjnego przewidywana jest
    na koniec czerwca 2011.
    Celem sprawdzenia czy nowa wersja jest dostępna, zapraszam na stronę

    I emailed samsung also and this is what I've got (in Dutch) : De update naar Android 2.3 staat in de planning, maar een exacte releasedatum is bij ons nog niet bekend.
    De verwachting is dat deze update voor eind Juni uitkomt.

    Zodra deze update beschikbaar is, krijgt u hiervan een melding in het programma KIES op het moment dat u
    uw telefoon koppelt aan de computer.

    Indien u nog vragen hebt, kunt u altijd contact opnemen met ons Contactcenter op telefoonnummer 0900-
    SAMSUNG (0900-7267864) voor Nederland of 022012418 voor België, op werkdagen van 09.00 -18.00 uur.

    Voor een snelle en efficiënte behandeling van uw probleem, adviseren wij u om de volgende gegevens
    paraat te hebben als u belt: uw klantnummer, uw IMEI-nummer en uw type toestel.

    Wij hopen u hiermee voldoende geïnformeerd te hebben.

    Met vriendelijke groet,


    Samsung Electronics Benelux B.V.
    www.samsung.nl

    Wich means in English: were planning to make the update to android 2.3, but we do not know an exact release date. We expect the update to come before the end of June.
    When the update is available you can see it in kies... Etc.
    I hope they don't mean another phone.
