We need your support - T-Mobile/Samsung - Give us an update!

We have gotten no news of any kind of update for our Samsung Vibrants. No Gingerbread update, not even a small 2.2.1 update, and I honestly believe that's just plain wrong. This has nothing to do with this phone being too slow or too old to run Gingerbread, heck.. it can even run Ice Cream Sandwich. And before you stop reading, no.. this isn't one of those threads that is just posted to complain, we have to do something about this. Maybe some people don't care for an update, maybe some don't understand what an actual OFFICIAL update could do for us users and devs. The lack of support for this device from both T-Mobile and Samsung has been horrible. Ask a representative from T-Mobile about an update, they'll say; Oh, It's coming.. Samsung is working on it. Ask a representative from Samsung about an update, they'll say; It's being worked on.. no ETA. So now, either both of the companies are clueless of their own product, and honestly don't know what is going on, or they just won't give us a straight.. 'No, you won't be getting an update.' which I think is dumb. I got hooked on Android because of it's openness, the support and the community. One of the only major updates that we got was through KIES, it wasn't even OTA. Maybe most of you don't care, but T-Mobile and Samsung should do right by us. I don't care about getting the latest and the greatest, I honestly would respect both Samsung and T-Mobile more if they gave us a straight answer.

So, what I'm asking is.. please help us by signing this petition and spreading the link wherever you can, because we have the power to fight this, we have the numbers and we can do it. This phone isn't super old, it's one of the best phones I've owned. Samsung did a great job with it, but that gives them no reason to stop supporting it. I got this on a two year contract, they should atleast support it for two years, and simply because it's in the Android spirit.

Please feel free to spread it on Facebook, Twitter, Google+, anywhere you see fit! If we get some headline news on Android blogs and sites, that'd be great, too!

Samsung and T-Mobile, we need an answer.

Sounds good. Together we'll bring this movement to the attention of the Galaxy S community and maybe get the long awaited update. Let's get cooking...

I was already thinking that very thing. Not to exclude anyone but we don't want too many cooks in the kitchen. Ill PM it to the 3 of you then we can collectively edit

I can try to type a rough draft up and have you, Wood, and n00b read over it and see what we can do from there. We just need to get Sammy and T-Mobile to actually look at it and look at people wanting the update. Many of our GS users have given up on updates.

I have something already typed up, just need to clean it up. I also have a canned-type header that we can put in the other threads so that 1 they will read it and 2 they don't get pissed at us for posting in their forums even though it would be beneficial to them. You know how territorial these places are. Ill post it up in the morning, so lets leave it as is until then. Sound good.

Tomorrow is my first day back to work in almost 2weeks, so I can't think of a better time waster for there. I work for a law firm so I good writing skills.

guys. we need to create ONE formal message to all the galaxy s variants Theexcel if you did that i'd be honored to copy and paste it to every Galaxy S forum.
Please no one but theexcel, woodrube, n00b in n33d or me post anywhere. we need to get organized before just randomly posting "sign this [link]"
