If you’ve not yet cracked the shits and rooted & ROM’d your Samsung Galaxy S that you purchased from Vodafone, then you’ll be relieved to know that the Android 2.3 “Gingerbread” update will be available for download via Samsung Kies starting from 12PM tomorrow (Friday 9th September).

The update is around 400MB in size, so we suggest you don’t tether your phone to your computer to download the update. Also make sure that your battery on the Galaxy S is almost full; updating with low battery may leave your phone as useful as a paperweight.
