I don't think this is happening until at least next week now...
Guru : Robbie: Hi I'm Guru : Robbie. How can I help?
Matthew: Hello. Numerous people from O2 confirmed yesterday that the Android 4.1(Jelly bean) update would arrive on the 19th(Yesterday). However whenever I connect to Kies or try OTA there is no update available.
Matthew: O2 has also just posted this on twitter... https://twitter.com/O2/status/259582551394492416
Matthew: however nothing is available?
Guru : Robbie: Let me check this for you.
Matthew: Sure,
Guru : Robbie: Thanks for waiting. Please download the latest version of Kies and then try to update the software.
Matthew: I've checked for updates and the latest was last night when it said i needed to update for firmware purposes but after doing so nothing has appeared
Matthew: The latest version installed is 2.5.0.12094_28
Guru : Robbie: Thanks for waiting.
Guru : Robbie: I've checked and see that the update is not available yet on O2 network completely.
Matthew: No problem.
Matthew: Completely?
Guru : Robbie: I mean our engineers are working on it.
Guru : Robbie: It'll be released soon.
Matthew: But O2 twitter said it's available to download now. The O2 spokesperson said it would be yesterday and a few live chat people also said this.
Matthew: Do the engineers even work on a Saturday or are we going to be waiting until next week?
Guru : Robbie: They don't work on weekend.
Matthew: So even though O2, on multiple occasion clearly stated the 19th would be the release date, this is now impossible as the engineers don't work weekends?
Guru : Robbie: I'm sorry but as of now we have not received any update on that.
Matthew: But I don't see why O2 would promise it's customers the 19th just to say it will arrive next week. Once again customers are let down by O2's inability to stick to the promises it makes.

This happens too often within the digital age. My opinion is, this is to whip people into an "update" frenzy to publicise their company It could be just an engineer forgot to flick the switch.....
