    Got my UK update today via Kies (my phone firmeware is unbranded and was previously on 2.2.1 XXJPY). Can't really review Gingerbread properly yet though as I have only had it installed a few hours.
    The new non-carrier firmware I have received is XXJVO and it is also available on samfirmware.com to flash via Odin (at your own risk of course).

      Here's to hoping Sammy plays nice and gives the Tab Ice Cream Sandwich... If they do, my loyalty to Nokia would shift completely. Convergence OS for phones and tablets for the phablet!

      Alas, considering their business model, i do not think it is likely...
