Nice to hear it's in the works, even if it does take the US a few extra months after the i9300 does

I would think they working on it already, and I hope it only takes a few months, when eclair got update to froyo, the Evo 4G was the first one to get in two months frame, seem hoe eclair and froyo was back then, that's how it looks for ics to jelly bean, some things did get left out by HTC back them tho(like cloud backup of apps)

Have no doubt the s3 will get it. The s2 though, i don't know.

Probably just the international version sgs2

Yeah, even if the int. Gsiii gets it in a month or two, it would be a GODSEND if we were to get it before the end of the year. Carriers always take their sweet time to bloat it up

I've just been running with some of the backported JB goodness... like the keyboard and Google Ears... other than Google Now that covers most of it.

Sprint takes there sweet time but ATT takes ages so I hope they dont do that bs.

Nothing to see hear. Expect it to ARRIVE to our PHONES in 2013.

So it'll reach US carriers in 6 months, and the Verizon version will see it in 2014.

Key lime pie will be shipping on new phones before verizon sends out an OTA for jellybean.

Either way you look at it this it's still good news.

The one thing I dislike is that some U.S. carriers may overlook the SGSII update to sell more SGSIII.

The reason being is that the SGSII variants for the U.S. launched less the a year ago. Which means there are a majority of people who are still locked in a contract.

Well the original galaxy s got two updates: froyo and gingerbread. I it only makes sense to see the galaxy s2 to get two updates as well: ics and jelly bean

This makes me wanna buy the s3 even more now. Too bad I can't afford it.

Yes it makes sense but is expensive for them and it most likely going to get it just later

Shouldn't take to awfully long being that jelly bean is based off ICS. ICS took longer to update because its a whole new build coming from gingerbread.

That makes sense but the carriers do what they want. I had an infuse 4g which is very similar to the s1 and it was only given a gb update after ice came out. It will probably never see official ics

Well in that case I guess you just have to hope. Keep in mind though it was kind of a spin-off of the galaxy s series, like the stratosphere or some phone like that. I don't really know

Yeah but Samsung can be pretty disappointing with updates. Optimistically, I'd say it will be released in September but it'll probably be like late October or November.
