Official update still not available for UK?

[Guest Speckles]

Anyone else got without patching registry/phone/etc ? I forget when this was promised now.

I understand provider-specific ROMs will be slower, but my phone was bought sim-free and says XEU, so I thought maybe official update would work.

Phone revision is I9000XXJF3 on a GT-I9000HKDXEU.

Kies just says "Firmware update is available", then I click it and it says "This firmware can not be updated."

It worked for me yesterday (I'm on T-mobile) -- I installed Kies on a friend's windows box specially, so I had the latest version of that.

Never used Kies before but (other than the horrendously long time it took to install), all went smoothly. Only (very minor) quibble is that I need to restore my homescreen layout now.

I did spend some time beforehand removing the lagfix in case that caused problems.

Spoke to Orange UK customer team on 20/11/10, who claim that the 2.2 update will be out in 2 weeks time and that Orange customers will receive a text notification.

Am now waiting for my text.........................

I've just tried Kies on my UK I9000. It said "Firmware update available", so I clicked "Update" and after a few caution windows, it download and installed OK.

Whats even better is that all my applications and data have been kept intact !
