Hey Guys,

Good news! The wait time is almost over for Samsung Galaxy SIII users. From tomorrow, 19th October '12, you'll be be able to upgrade to the much awaited 4.1 Jelly Bean update over Wi-Fi or via Kies.

If you have activated the 'auto-update' feature from out of box, you will be prompted to download the 4.1 Jelly Bean update.

When are we going to be able to hit the Update? Tried over the Air + Samsung Kies both having no ability to update? Kies says I have the Latest :S 4.0.4 😞

Hopefully this is soon, or an update on ETA?

Your OP says the 19th and still no update?

Thats looks like a reply from an indian based person who normally never have a bloody clue about anything let alone a software update!!

I would wait and see today but i doubt it will happen! O2 should really come back to this to explain whats happening instead of hiding....

False Advertising on the forums is the best approach, Love to hear what they say next, as if I get you have to wait till future we will keep you updated. I be on the phone wanting my money back....
