              Well It's about time (Samsung) we're in the middle east last people to get the upgrade. Do you think we're not paying enough for your phones (I just hate samsung networks) all people shoukd be treated the same.

                              Had the update for a couple of days. Here is my opinions and findings:

                              Don't have issues with lag as far as I can tell. I didn't really have any on 2.1, as some didn't, but still its nice.

                              I did notice it installs apps much faster and navigates around the market and OS quicker.

                              On 2.1 I had small lags in the music player. This is no more.

                              The camera seems to work faster (Slight modifications to the camera menu is nice too), though this isn't that important.

                              Performance is faster overall. (Quadrant scored about 1k, not too great as lag fixes can gain more, though this doesn't bother me as I'm happy)

                              No, it does not wipe apps and data, though a backup is recommended. I did a factory reset afterward anyway just so I can make sure everything compatible and clean.

                              Anything else, I'm willing to answer.
