Finally, something good happening for Samsung Galaxy Portal on T-Mobile UK (No points for guessing what my current phone is).

After being stuck with Android 1.5 aka the cupcake for almost a decade and a half ( it felt that long at least), T-mobile has finally decided to give its (now) older phone – the Galaxy Portal the much awaited Eclair upgrade. This would finally bring a lot of awesomeness to the new phone such as Live wallpapers, better ROM stability, much better memory utilisation and compatibility with all those new apps in the Android market which work for Android 2.1 onwards.
This announcement comes from a T-Mobile employee on its product support forums where customers have been moaning about why the carrier has been delaying the roll out of Eclair for so long, when 3-mobile released the Galaxy portal with Eclair out of the box. The announcement can be read here.
What is not clear, is that the employee’s comment mentions – We will be releasing a software update for the Samsung Galaxy Portal within the next month. This will update your Samsung Galaxy Portal to Android 2.1.
Hence, there is no ETA provided. Well, I’ll surely be refreshing that damn forum page for sure for at least a thousand times a day.
