Android 2.2 is coming to Samsung Galaxy S in September

According to Samsung UK Mobile twitter account, they tweeted that the international version of Galaxy S will receive the Android 2.2 update in September. About three days ago, the Galaxy S owners could update their device using the leaked update for Android 2.2. But there are reports saying that the update is still very buggy and unstable. Considering all of those stuffs, I think it is safer to wait for the official release on September.

Hopefully, after the update, Samsung also will fix the occasional lag that I had experienced when I'm playing with the Galaxy S at the ICS a couple of weeks ago. We'll keep you posted about it!
