  Hi there,
  
  It depends on the version of your phone and not the sim card or telco that you have subscribed to.
  
  PDA:JM2 / PHONE:JM1 / CSC:JM2 should be UK Android 2.1 version.
  
  Have you upgraded to the latest version of Kies?

Hi KeeMan thanks for the update, this is certainly an exciting time for Samsung Galaxy S users!

Have you upgraded your phone, and did you encounter any problems?

2) RAM had indicates 304 compared to 326 in Ecliar – all the while i tot it is 512??
3) More screen lags – slow response after item selected

Thanks in advance.

Hi KeeMan,
After my upgrade, the DioPen input didn’t seem to respond to my PinYin. Any idea what happen and most important – how to fix?

Thanks in advance.

I’ve just updated to firmware 2.2.1, and I’m happy to report the lag is gone, and the available RAM has increased to 339MB! As usual I’ve prepared step-by-step instructions at my blog http://bit.ly/felUhm

Oops sorry I was mistaken about the RAM, it’s still at 304MB 🙁
