      it's been a while since the update was officially posted, but so far nothing came to my side. I'm living in Cyprus , which it's considered Europe. anyone have info when is going to come here? West Europe got the update, Middle East got it... The one's between are not important as customers?!

                      Please tell me if you updated via kies or was it OTA ASAP.

                            Dud, 02 Mar 2011Quadrant scores are pretty useless to me. I had 2000 last m... moreAnd useless to me too. 2.2 with voodoo, i got 2000 and it was still laggy. 2.2.1 i have above 1000 and speed of light. :D

                              How is that better than 2.2.1 Galaxy S? It has similar results, even better in quadrant.

                                it would be better if the launcher is improved..

                                  I have galaxy S and I dont think quadrant is accurate. it was always giving different score everytime I tried. enabling lagfix and using hardcore speedmod give me score 1100 to 1300. so fast and no lag at all. I dont really care bout the points since I'm satisfied with it. cheer up..

                                    Neocore is a joke. Always 56FPS on Galaxy S because the phone is capped at 56FPS unless you can a none capped custom ROM. Neocore is also using dated OPENGL 1.1 instead of the latest OPENGL 2.0. Voodoo lagfix for Galaxy S is using EXT4 file system which is same as Nexus S file system. EXT4 seems to be faster than EXT2 file system in OCLF lagfix and you still get full storage after converted from Samsung RFS to EXT4.
