South Korean mobile phone maker Samsung might have not provided all of its Galaxy S users out there with an update to the newer Android 2.2 Froyo operating system flavor, but it already started delivering Android 2.2.1 to some of those who were upgraded. Apparently, the new software update already arrived on certain devices in the Nordic area, but no specific info on whether it would be pushed out on other markets too emerged for the time being.

However, a recent article on swedroid notes that the Android 2.2.1 OS was already delivered to a wide range of users, and that some of them report a series of performance enhancements that came along with it.

Unfortunately, no official info on what was included with the software update emerged for the time being, though various unofficial reports on it are available.

Among the enhancements that Android 2.2.1 reportedly brings to the handset, we can count some security fixes, along with the said performance improvements, which should make a lot of users happy.

At the same time, the new software update is said to be blocking the available one-click rooting applications, and those who are into having the phone rooted would have to wait for new rooting software or methods to emerge.

It also remains to be seen how fast would Samsung make the software available for more Galaxy S users around the world, especially since it did not finalized the release of Android 2.2 for all of them.

In case there are some unfamiliar with the situation, we should note that the Android 2.2 Froyo update for Galaxy S devices on the United States market was not delivered until now, and that it might take a while before it arrives on handsets.

Some of the latest news on the matter suggested that US carriers are holding back due to the costs the roll-out would involve, while other speculated that the release of new Galaxy S models might be the actual reason for this.
