...nothing official yet, but watch this space.

All the i8510s on display had the HH9 firmware installed, but I haven't yet had a chance to test it for bug fixes.

What I can say for now is that the first firmwares will be available via their website, as Nokia do. We certainly won't be seeing OTA updates this year 😞

Maybe I�m gonna say something stupid here, but I�ve just got the phone, and the firmware is HI1... it has english, chinese and malayn languages, I guess HI is supposed to come after HH isn�t it? Peace.

Samsung have just called me to give me a progress update on the memory card problem and they say they ARE testing a new firmware........so fingers crossed it will be released soon!

The first firmware updates will be made available via a download system similar to Nokia's software update. (details will be on Samsung's website)

We *should* see at least one firmware update released this year!

Would it not be possible to release a quick patch for the bugs we have found?

Unfortunately it's not as simple as that... unless using FOTA (which Samsung won't be doing this year) you can't easily patch a firmware install, you need to flash the entire phone with a new firmware, which means building / testing / network approval / packaging / distributing that firmware.
