Wireless carrier T-Mobile UK is expected to offer its customers who own a Samsung Galaxy S device the possibility to taste a new Android version on their devices only at the end of the next month a recent post on the company's forums reads. It appears that the carrier pushed back the firmware update for Galaxy S by no less than two month, as the original plan was to deliver it before the end of September.

Interestingly enough, the carries was the only one to still claim that the Android 2.2 Froyo OS would come in due time on its airwaves last month, even if others announced it was to be delayed.

In a forum thread dedicated to the arrival of this firmware update for Galaxy S, a T-Mobile employee announced the new change of plans not too long ago, unveiling that the new targeted release date is end of November.

Here's what the wireless carrier announced:

"Some news on the update to Android 2.2 for the Samsung Galaxy S. Currently we are making some changes to get it working better when using Orange signal, and are therefore looking to release the update by the end of November – obviously this is a delay on our original release date but we hope it will be worth the wait!"

This should not come as a surprise, especially since Samsung has just started to deploy the OS upgrade on its Galaxy S handsets, and it would certainly take some time for carriers to tailor the software for their branded devices.

According to T-Mobile UK, “the update will still be made available through the Samsung Kies PC application,” the same as Samsung announced officially at the end of the last week.

In case there are some who would like to download and install the solution earlier than the targeted release date at T-Mobile UK, they can do so already, as explained here.

We should also note that T-Mobile is not the only wireless carrier to plan releasing Android 2.2 Froyo for its Galaxy S devices next month.

Australia's Optus also announced a similar move, after correcting an original announcement which stated that the OS upgrade was already available for its users.
