Vodafone and Samsung have finally made Ice Cream Sandwich available to Vodafone Samsung Galaxy S II users. Starting today, users will be able to update to Android 4.0.3 via Samsung’s Kies software. For those who can’t be bothered with Kies, you’ll have to wait another few days before Vodafone begins pushing the update OTA.


Samsung decided to drop a barrel of devices on us yesterday, all of which came with pricing and availability details (I know, right?).

While I always have trouble deducing what exactly is going on in a translation, I’m thinking these are the claims of the author and not LG. So what we basically have here is a rumored device to compete with another rumored device. If you’re interested in comparing rumored specs against the specs of well… rumor, then by all means check out the LG D1L.

Unfortunately this is something your carrier certainly does not condone and you will be doing this at your own risk (sounds scary but it isn’t).

3D technology has reared its 3-dimensional head inside the hardware of only the bravest of OEMs. HTC was the first to test the waters with their EVO 3D but it failed to impress, receiving only lukewarm reviews. Many have been speculating that the rumored Galaxy S III would include this “gimmicky” tech, however, Samsung confirmed today that it has no plans to manufacture 3D smartphones — period!
