More information has come to light in regards to the Pay-to-Update story leaked via a post on XDA. We covered that story and have been wondering, if it’s true, do other manufacturers also indulge in this pratice? Well it seems, Samsung in fact, does not, and according to them it is all a lie. Hit the break for the juice.
In an email to Phone Scoop, Samsung stated,
“No. Samsung is not charging carriers for Froyo updates to Galaxy S. We hope to have more detail on status shortly. Promise!”
Now, promises from manufacturers really don’t carry much weight these days and seeing as though Australian carriers have already rolled out their Froyo update to the Galaxy S, that doesn’t really apply to us. However, it would be interesting to find out why it does take soooo long to release updates.
Let’s wait and see if all this “pay-to-play” rubbish gets put to bed and carriers and manufactures start to roll out updates like they should…on time!
