Just dial *#1234# and tell me what it says....
If you are unbranded you get updates direct from Samsung, if not you have to wait (ages) for O2.

sorry to sound stupid but what is unbranded

MI5 · ‎13-11-2013

Unlocked phones with Samsung's own firmware, ie not network branded.

so i guess its just a waiting game then seems as if samsung is last to get everything should be first the hype that surrounds them

If the first thing you see is the O2 splash screen when you turn your phone on, your phone is branded.

I DO NOT WORK FOR O2

Not sure if you are following, but Samsung have released it. We are now waiting for O2.

Ok do we get some sort of notification or just keep trying on phone to update through usual process

Seriously I would think twice before installing it, my phone has been wrecked by it. Unresponsive, laggy. battery life feels halved. Sometimes the phone won't "wake" from the screen being off and when it does the lag between pressing home or power can be four to six seconds.
