He got his firmware update through OTA. Told all of you that Samsung OTA is in the testing stage. Hope it will move on operating stage soon enough. :-)

owh yeah, it isnt, waveweaver...
i was merely "hoping that it was. but it isnt.
1 reason why I see no reason to root is that this device is one that does almost everything great. 1st time an android device does it without rooting, coming al the way from the g1. this is and was what android should to be.
short enuf: this is gooding.
Yeah i agree with you. SGSII is the most ( if not totally ) complete of what an Android phone should be. And for you to receive OTA is trully an icing on the cake :-)
BTW, you still on 2.3.3.? I'm sure you'll get your OTA 2.3.4 firmware soon enough because Kies have already releases a stream of 2.3.4 firmware update to europe region recently that is up to XXKG5 if i'm not mistaken.
Just keep your patience though.
Patience has its own virtue :-)
