@ Ray

Battery management under Gingerbread v2.3.5 is phenomenal!

I just checked my phone and the battery shows 83% remaining after 23h 10m use. At that rate I will get approx 5 - 6 days use from a single charge.

Neat ! ! !

        I can't remember how much RAM Froyo used but if it was more like you say then Gingerbread is a more efficient OS that requires less RAM to function. It also means there is more free RAM for the end user to play with.

        I can't comment on the GPS as I haven't tested it since the last fiasco where it kept on losing the connection to the satellites and my network. For navigation I use my Nokia N8 anyway, which always has worked without fail.


        Cheers.

                RAM is still the same at 329 MB. So Android still reserves 183 MB for itself.

I tried downloading kies at my local library, but the kies software was blocked right at the last stage by the librarys security...not sure whether the drivers installed.

                          [deleted post]A friend of mine has a Galaxy S locked to the 3 network and he has been able to upgrade to Gingerbread, so in your case it's not the networks fault. Am I right in saying that Kies tells you "This version of the device cannot be upgraded", or words to that effect? If so, it means Kies doesn't recognise that firmware version and will never update your phone.

                          Your only option then is to manually update it using Odin, or to visit a Samsung service centre and they'll upgrade the firmware for you if you don't want to do it yourself.

                          Cheers.

                                You can install a custom firmware on it... official firmwares are unlikely though.
