samsung are a waste of space when it comes to updates, waited long enough for ics, now jelly bean is even longer, and not that much usefull difference, sick of thier mind games, thier not that special, and extreamly over priced, just like crappy apple, ive had enough, going HTC next. keep your slow silly update.

oh Samsung, surprise surprise, I know why they keep delaying the update for SGS II, it's because they just released SGS II Plus which also has jelly bean, if they rolled out the update now, there wouldn't be any point for anyone to buy an SGS II Plus, right? I have a feeling it's going to be march or april, february? pehlease!

Can people stop using the word "costumer" the word you should use in this context is either "consumer" or "customer" choose one or the other PLEASE! This is driving me crazy!
Unless of course you actually make costumes then you are a "costumer" but "tailor" would be a better word to use.

P.S Samsung please get a move on with this update, it was perfectly usable in November when the leak surfaced, it must be almost perfect now, you're just sitting on it for marketing reasons (cough S2+ cough S3 christmas sales, cough) just get on with it.

Only about 3 months too late.

Xda developers have had it running well months before Samsungs official release. They've been holding on to it just so that they can say that the S2 has had two years worth of updates.

Compare it to iPhones updates and it looks bad.

I really dont understand, lets talk android for a moment, unless we talking about a Nexus Device, name any other OEM that support their phones more than samsung, whether the updates are fast or slow.

I really dont see what all the crying and moaning are for. Atleast the phone is getting updated.

HTC updates are crap, and SONY is even worst. My opinion is that Samsung, HTC and Sony are the top OEMs for android
