Most of you could care less what South Koreans are getting, but many North Americans will buy some version of the Samsung Galaxy S, which is hitting every carrier under the sky. An early August FroYo update for the Korean Galaxy S should mean that its carbon copies worldwide will receive the same treatment shortly thereafter.

A “Samsung official” has confirmed to Samsung Hub that the South Korean upgrade is hitting early August with TouchWiz intact. I will be watching with breathless anticipation to see which carrier - Sprint, T-Mobile, Verizon, etc. - releases 2.2 for its Galaxy S first. My bet is that it will not be Bell Canada (laughs).
