But absolutely no proof. All just rumors. When Froyo was coming to the Epic even the magazines had dates (which were wrong) listed. Google it. The only thing that comes up is Samsung to release to Europe and then to US carriers, oh and all the rumors here. Hasn't released in Europe yet. If you ever think it has released, just go to Sprint.com and check update firmware for your device. The first day of OTA it appears on the site.
Kenny is correct though. However it doesn't matter what the date is. As far as were concerned its most likely end of this month.

I really hope it does come at the end of the month but there is absolutely no mention of it in any Android publication other than Samsung's tweet that we will get it. The rags. Always have better sources than we do.

really glad that i have this phone but i had the original epic and we all know how terrible updates were on that piece of crap. I swore i would never buy samsung again but saw this and was a sucker. XD
Anyway, i was just wondering when people think the first update will happen as i don't want to go through another original epic 4g fiasco! Really looking forward to Ice Cream Sandwich and hope it comes to our phones before the end of the year, or at least a ROM of ICS comes by the end of the year.
Some say the 19th, but nothing official yet.

HaHa! HTC is sooooo small in comparison.
Is there a need for an update? Are you having issues? I haven't even rooted yet and things are great since launch day.
And for ICS, I would not say yet, but one issue is we have physical buttons and ICS was partly to get rid of them. Maybe TW will be on ICS eliminating the on screen buttons and then we can get it. I don't yet see a need for it. I was so ready for Gingerbread on the Evo and it was such a let down. I think ICS will be less than we want or need.

G purchased Moto.
When it comes to update only way Samsung will get on it is if owners step up make some noise.
Sprint Community forum has threads on issue that need more users post.
Email Samsung , call tech support and post on their facebook page
No one's buying Samsung. It was just a stupid joke. ;p
Never... We'll probably see an unofficial release WELL before the official release (if ever)
Yesterday, during an Android gathering in LA, LA Gadgets Examiner confirmed with an Android insider that Google, HTC
and Samsung are doing everything they can to bring Android 4.0 to their smartphones. The EVO 3D and Galaxy S II were
specifically mentioned as scheduled to receive the update sometime next month.<===from talkandroid

It may be released next month by Google. But the US carriers are going to take a couple months to get them to us, the consumer.
For example, Samsung already gave Sprint the update for our phones beginning of October, but we won't be getting it until December.

I bet if that update was for the IPhone Sprint would have rolled it out already and wasted no time in supporting it.
Now I am talking about Apple updates here not Samsung. Just saying that if Sprint would have gotten a update from Apple the Apple users would have gotten it already. Unlike all the other users who has to wait and wait and be treated like a red headed step child.

The difference is that Apple sends updates directly. Samsung goes through Sprint. Sprint doesn't have much of a say as to when an Apple update gets released.

You never know, it could be ICS. The Galaxy Nexus has ICS and it's Samsung. It's not too far fetched to say that Samsung has an ICS build for our phone already.
..... Even if they said next month expect it 2013 ... This is samsung.

That was also before they made the promise to deliver the updates to devices that can get them in a reasonable time.
The moment got 3 or 4 updates in it's lifespan. It actually had 2.1 before the Hero.
The Epic got boofed sure, but still, I think this one will be different, and I think the Epic is the reason they didn't go with a whole new form factor.
Hopefully Samsung will follow HTC's lead. HTC announced 8 devices today that will be getting ICS in early 2012. 2 Sprint phones are on that list. http://tinyw.in/Fw1H

Hey, I was chatting with Samsung, and they kept giving me the runaround "we don't know, it will be on the website" and she kept referencing "the team" who works on the software... so I asked for the software team email address, and she could not do that. But that she would "send feedback about my request" when I asked if they could email me back when they get my request, she said that they would update the website. I asked what they would do with my request and she said " they could release the update quicker".
Does that sound right? If more people ask, they will release it faster?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I927 using XDA
Good idea. I'll see if I can do that too later tomorrow Good first step!
two things:
1.) If they (Samsung) have not released the update yet, a longer wait is gonna happen. Might be because of carrier issues (like ATT and Rogers adding bloats etc).
2.) If they already released the update to carriers, it's ATT/Rogers doing that's keeping ICS delayed. Samsung might not tell customers about this, well, maybe they don't want to point fingers..
This is only what I think....talking through experience...
Adding bloat. Give a few apks, samsung puts that in system/app in the zip, done >_>
But there's a point in the passing down to carriers...if this holds true should we try ATT soon? However I think they have a deadline by end of this quarter. They did say "coming months..."

They say October for the unlocked S3 variants. I bet it will be at least Christmas time before we see anything from T-Mobile.
Seeing as we already have a couple of leaks and the last one was pretty well polished I would not be surprised if the official update got leaked ahead of the October timeframe.
Awesome find. Although it was kind of a given that the JB OTA would be coming soon, considering how smooth and almost perfect LI3 is.
Kudos to Sammy and Tmobile for making this happen!

It doesn't say October is for unlocked S3 variants, it does say it's likely unlocked ones will get it first. You also have to take into consideration that website is just an unofficial blog filled with rumors.
