    1. Pc Studio 7 is the samsung rip off of Nokia PC suite. its for use with their Symbian Handsets. eg I8910, I8510

    2. This handset is meant to use the new Kies software which can be downloaded from their website.

    3. the New PC Studio software which was provided with the handset will also work.

    4. Germany only for Europe updates. no dates for when other countries will go live. will be dependant on existing home updates samsung. UK where i am its not bloody likely to ever work.

    5. I7500 no chance of 2.1 on this one. the I7500 has been limited to 1.6. if samsung ever get their finger out and release an update is a whole other can of worms

              Dear All
              You can only upgrade using the pc suite that comes on the CD with the box. You can NOT using samsung pc studio 7 which u can download from the internet.
              Besides, after i installed the PC suite from the CD, it said (update not available) and i have checked in many other forums, that it is saying that because the update is only available for Germany at the moment.
              Kind regards

                                Not this way, Samsung! All users do not have Windows in their computers and PC Studio 7 will not work with WINE under Linux. Samsung should offer easier platform independent way to complete the update process.

                                        "The upgrade will be available from March 2010 in Germany and gradually rolled out to other European markets, Southeast Asia, the Middle East and Asia, Africa and rest of the world"
                                        ... right from the press release

                                        We only hope it rolls out quickly to the other regions as well.

                                        Anybody from Germany with successful upgrade? Anybody please?
