                      This is a good news! but samsung is the worst company in maintaining their product line. they just keep on making new phones and just forget older ones.. None of their phones except the premium ones have got ICS updates in india.

                        once samsung release it sources, youll be easier to port a 100% working AOSP ICS ROM for all the other tegra2 phones, so guys, relax, after all, the fun of android phones is the SU knowledge you learn trying to get unnofficial OS updates on it

                          Anonymous, 17 Aug 2012isn't it awsome that a so old, and not popular device get's... moreI think you have completely got your facts wrong, the desire HD is very old, the galaxy R(also know as the galaxy Z) is only a year and a half old! It was released last year, its the exact same thing as the Galaxy S2 but with a tegra 2 SOC instead of Samsungs SOC, essentially it is the samsung equivalent of the LG Optimus 2x.

                          Now if i recall correctly, this isnt actually rolling out...it has lots of bugs still and its just a fluke the guy got it returned with ICS, lucky him! I wish LG would do something like this for our O2x but it seems doubtful, atleast they can rip out the drivers and get CM10 eventually :).

                            isn't it awsome that a so old, and not popular device get's ics, when the desire hd won't?^^

                                  It is funny, that sammy makes an update and people are complaining about it? This news are not for people, who comment something like "another plastic copy or another fail or another nothing new"... There are people who are waiting for this and hoping it will come at least. Complaining here is just plain stupid and shows how much of an IQ you have, because you cannot control yourself from such nonsense comments.

                                  I am happy for Galaxy R users!
