From Samsung, the carriers do not push out OTAs, when you get the update is determined by when each carrier approves the update though, in which case you will have to wait for Vodafone(Which is good news because they have been the fastest of the 3 carriers in updating their phones so far)

I’ve got a Galaxy Nexus that I got on contract from Vodafone, however I have since unlocked the phone and switched to Telstra…will I receive the OTA JB update from Vodafone or Telstra?

It ain’t Samsung… it’s Telstra – they are the only common denominator in all the delays… doesn’t matter who the OEM is – Telstra ALWAYS delay updates with some excuse or other… those that know, Root and ROM – everyone else, well I just feel sorry for you!!

What about the Samsung Galaxy SII 3G (NOT 4G)? All I’ve read is the 4G network. It Telstra can’t provide this new Jelly Bean on the Samsung Galaxy SII 3G (network) then give me a new phone and extended my contract for another 12 months.

Send all complaints to Google and tell them all android phones should have vanilla builds of the newest Android is they can handle. Then allow manufacturers skins to be available on play store when they complete a stable build. If you buy HTC the skin should be free. If they make a stable build for other makes of phone they can charge for it. (you might like sense more than touchwiz) .
Finally carrier apps should be on the play store only if there stable.If carrier apps and skins were completely removable at will google could provide updates to all phones with only small delays due to different chip sets.
This would give google update ability as fast as ios and make manufacturers work to provide better skins that don’t impair the os or drain the battery,or the consumer will buy a different skin.and bloatware will be more compatible or consumers will delete it.

Would love to see a link to some information about how to flash firmware to international ‘non-carrier-branded’ version
