UPDATE: According to a commenter, wireless update option has been added.
Samsung has apparently rolled out the Android 2.2.1 update for Galaxy S (I9000) users. There’s no confirmation about the number of regions getting the update but users in Sweden have started to receive it through Kies.
The update does not bring major improvements but few users who have updated to the latest version claim to experience significant speed increase.
Have you received the update? How does it perform? Let us know in the comments.
I got 2.2.1 via Kies earlier today. I don’t know about the performance increases, but it seems slightly more responsive overall. I’m sure more advanced users can report more details regarding that. There’s also a new option under “About phone”: software updates (via wireless).

Hello, I’m having a problem when updating my Galaxy S to Froyo 2.2.1 via Kies. Downloading file for firmware upgrade just doesn’t progress beyond 2%. Worse, a Notice dialog will appear saying that “The operation has timed out.”

Any ETA when it will be available in Czech?

Android 2.2.1 is not available in India yet for Galaxy S. I checked it yesterday and I couldn’t get any upgrade firmware option. It says that I am on the latest firmware. It did give me an upgrade option for my KIES installation though!!!! KIES looks good now after the update:).
