As with most Samsung Galaxy S smartphones the Samsung Captivate for Canada’s Rogers will actually launch sporting Android OS 2.1 the same as every other Galaxy S device, but maybe those waiting to grab the Samsung captivate on Rogers are waiting for news on just when the device may see the Android 2.2 update.
Well we have some news on that subject courtesy of Mobile Syrup’s Ian Hardy and by way of Redboard, apparently Rogers posted to their blog concerning the Samsung Captivate which reads…“expect an update to OS 2.2 to be available early 2011.″
So there you have it, anyone purchasing the Rogers Samsung Captivate in Canada will have to wait until sometime early next year before seeing the Android 2.2 Froyo update to the smartphone.
Does that bit of news put you off purchasing the Rogers Samsung captivate or are you quite okay with waiting for Froyo to hit the device? I must say Android 2.2 Froyo still hasn’t hit my Samsung Galaxy S, but I’m not in too much of a hurry anyway.
