Samsung confirmed they are not charging for updates on the Galaxy S
If you haven't already heard the truth, there will be no fee's for Samsung Android updates. These rumors have gotten pretty strong lately and Samsung has recently confirmed, with this statement to phonescoop, "No. Samsung is not charging carriers for Froyo updates to Galaxy S. We hope to have more detail on status shortly. Promise!"
What may have started the rumor was when one reporter suggested he thinks the delay in the Galaxy S getting Froyo may be because they want to start charging for it. This however isn't the case but several people believed it and it did cause some concern. Thankfully Samsung came through hastily and let everyone know!
What we are curious to know is what "is" taking so long? What do you think?
Were you one of the ones who may have started to believe this or did? Or were you one who knew it was not going to happen? Either way, were glad it's not and were sure you are too! Let us know what you think in the comment box below.

To be completely honest if it took someone starting a rumor to hear anything from Samsung or the US Carriers, it was not in vain.
I had read briefly that the carriers were not willing to pay Samsung for updates. If that’s the case I would see no incentive on Samsung’s part to do so. Carrier’s obviously make money off their customers/ clients.. But it wouldn’t surprise me..
It’s good to hear, but can’t you just update it manually? I realize this is a pretty ignorant question, but I’ve been WM for 4 years and have just switched over to the Sprint Samsung last week. I have been enjoying it stock–with all the cool, free programs–before I research how to flash it to something else.
