One day after its release, the update for Samsung Galaxy S owners to Android 2.3 Gingerbread has been pulled by Google.
Via its forum Vodafone announced yesterday that the anticipated update to Google's latest operating system for phones is temporarily suspended, saying, "there are no known performance issues with the Vodafone variant of the device, we are working with Samsung to reinstate the roll out as soon as possible".
The news came only a day after Vodafone announced that its customers would be able to download the update to the operating system via Samsung's KIES application and a USB cable.
The update to Gingerbread will bring users numerous fixes and improvements including interface changes, a new keyboard, better power efficiency, multiple camera management and the ability to switch the device to 2G mode.
We're not sure if anyone managed to get the update over the short time it was available, but you can check whether you have the update by dialling *#1234# which will show i9000BUJV4 as the software version if the handset has been updated.
If you're after the newer keyboard then this can be downloaded via the Android Market, named 'Keyboard from Android 2.3'.
