I am still on Version 2.3 but hoping to upgrade this weekend. Good at computer and internet, phones not so much. A friend of mine has recently upgraded his samsung fairly new Galaxy S2 I9100 to 4.1 and it looks amazingly sharp. He also says the camera photos are sharper. I didnt realise software upgrades could enhance the phone so much otherwise I would have upgraded a long time ago. But since I’ve been persuaded I won’t end up with a plastic brick I will give it ago. Thanks for your advice. I was actually trying to find out if the upgrade is available in the UK yet.
