If this is a finalized listing, it would affect sale of some current model just like I have considered getting GS Premier but if the firmware upgrade stops at JB, then just forget it to get other brand.

        Well, good job keeping the S2 updates alive for 2 years Samsung. It fits the 18 months update policy of Google. S2 *can* probably run 5.0 but not with TouchWiz. The same reason the S1 didn't get ICS but Nexus S did. If you want higher updates, root and flash a custom ROM.

          So the note comes out about a year ago(?) and they drop support? That is pretty low, Note owners help Samsung prove there is a market for phablets and they are rewarded by being dropped from any latest updates.... Grand.

            If you're unhappy with this you can always move to CyanogenMod which always follows the latest version.

            If a HTC HD2 can run Jelly Bean...

                Any timeframe on the SII JB update in the UK ???

                Been expected it "In March" for ages. My ICS SII is pretty unstable, starting to get a little annoyed of having to reset it when it keeps freezing.

                  in my opinion, as long as you own the fone, you must be receiving updates no matter what

                          AnonD-120328, 18 Mar 2013omg! galaxy s2 still gonna get its 3rd major update? i c... moreI dont know why you include Nokia in your comment they are not making android phones, But if you are referring to the 1st Generation Lumia that didn't get the Windows Phone 8 update it is because WP8 uses a different kernel version, and WP8 needs more Ram. They get the 7.8 update which houses the same features except for the support for the memory card since they don't have card slots. Haha

                            Jelly Bean update is now on air in Pakistan for Samsung galaxy S II
                            this is by far the best update.
                            it gives you smart say
                            direct call
                            a cool new notification bar
                            totally new UI
                            if you own an S II
                            you're probably the luckiest person alive
