Froyo hasnt reached india bt other countries it has reached has any1 tried modifyin the reg..........here is method how to change the reg for offical froyo ':::
so i am in australia and ofcoarse there is no upgrade to froyo.
so ...reg hack... updated via kies and yes am on froyo now!

this is my reg hack

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Samsung\Kies\DeviceDB\1]
"SoftwareRevision"="I9000XXJF3/I9000SWC/I9000XXJF3/I9000XXJF3"
"ProductCode"="GT-I9000HKDXEE"
"HIDSWVER"="I9000XXJF3/I9000SWC/I9000XXJF3/I9000XXJF3"
"DEVCONINFO"=""

remember..mod ur registry only whilst your device has been detected by kies.
if you need to plug your phone out..u plug it in again and again mod ur registry.


note it took a good 4 to 5 mins for the phone to load...

    I was using a HTC desiresince may 10and was very happy with the overall performance, it was blazing fast good features and after the froyo update back in end july it was an even marvellous machine. the things that i didnt like about it was no divx support even though word was that they will add this with froyo update, limited memory and after installing 10-12 apps it was running out of memeory and battery life was terrible.
    Come september and i was due an upgrade and the choice was iphone 4 or a galaxy s... after alot of thinking and ahving used android before i settled for the galaxy.... but what a disappointing experience it has been. the phone is slow as hell, sometime while opening apps it laggs for ages and feels like a 50 pound handset, well some might still be faster than this...froyo was promised at the end of september now thats pushed till the end of october. Gps was another nightmare, as i decided to relying on it and it wouldnt just get a fix and i had to manouver my way around by constantly calling people and asking for directions. i like the overall look and feel of the phone, screen is brilliant but samsung seriously needs to fix the lagg and other although minor issues but considering the price and hype and the numbers sold a critical fix or else atleast i wont consider a samsung just by word of mouth

                                  The guys are right, Samsung is still a terrible, dreadful, company. No matter if the Galaxy S is passable, Samsung sucks.
