We love to talk with Australian carriers regarding Android updates and so far Vodafone has been an excellent communicator in regards to what is happening with updates for their phones. When I reminded Vodafone yesterday that I still had my Nexus S and that the countdown to the Vodafone OTA update would begin when the official Jelly Bean image for the Nexus S hits the Google Dev page. They responded to the challenge:
@phroghollow Excellent! I love a challenge. If our OTA arrives within a 2 weeks of it being posted to AOSP… [1/3] ^K

@phroghollow I’ll send you a “Vodafone Speaks Android” lanyard and you need to take a photo wearing it with 4.1 on your Nexus S… [2/3] ^K

@phroghollow If we miss the 2 weeks, I’ll send you a GALAXY Mini 2 to review, give away or share with the Ausdroid Community. Deal? [3/3] ^K

Needless to say: Challenge Accepted. I’m so torn right now, I want Jelly Bean on my phones as soon as possible but to be able to get a phone to give away to you our readers would be super sweet as well.
