Do you guys think Samsung will release gingerbread for this phone?
no. the galaxy s and galaxy s II will get it tho. american phones from sammy get no love it seems. sad face.
However! with that said... TW will port the galaxy s gingerbread release like so many have already done with for the Vibrant. i'm sure we'll see it via xda devs.
Sammy announced yesterday that Galaxy S devices will receive Gingerbread middle of this month. That said, T-mobile will most likely push it to us. However, once it has been released soon after I would bet that Samsung will have it up on mini kies. But lets face it, don't start holding your breath.
Like Luck said, Dev's will port it. And once the vibrant get's it and we have a working CWM there will be a port for our phone's. I would bet money on it.
This is great news.
Great news even though i have no idea what's new with gingerbread other than performance which is already a steong reason to upgrade.

Samsung Offers Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich Upgrade for GALAXY S II
SEOUL, Korea – March 13, 2012 – Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd., the global leader in Android™ smartphones, today announced the availability of Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) software upgrade for GALAXY S II.

Samsung Electronics will also offer Android 2.3 Gingerbread firmware upgrades for GALAXY S, GALAXY Tab 7", GALAXY S Plus, GALAXY S SCL(Super Clear LCD), and GALAXY W from end of March. The firmware upgrades for GALAXY S, for example, include Face Unlock, Snapshot, Photo Editor and others.

Yes, this is good. Once they release their kernel sources we'll be able to start porting CM9. Right now teamhacksung is using a binary kernel from the Galaxy SII ICS leaks in their CM9 builds.
AMAZING!!!!
Best news all day..
have ICS on phone and find it much better than honeycomb
Im hoping for the best too, but until I see a P-6200 release I wont get excited.
Lets hope the release it for us too and not just P-6210.

Galaxy Nexus is a Nexus, not a regular Samsung phone.
Besides that, vanilla UI is not as good as TW.
The only complaint I have about TW is it being "super intrusive". I own an (SPH-D700) Epic 4G and it took our developers about a full year to get it fully CM complaint/functional. Getting AOSP (CM/MIUI) fully functional was difficult due to the fact that our kernel(s)/file(s) were all reliant on TW. But (correct me if I'm wrong) I've heard that Samsung is now making TW less "intrusive" on Android devices. If this is 'true', I wouldn't mind having TW layed up on top of ICS (or any other Android version). TW actually has 'some' helpful features

We have the right to our own opinion. I will take stock ics over touchwiz any given day. After using the nexus and the butter smooth experience, I will not touch anything else.
Agreed, Pure Vanilla tastes best.
It seems Samsung has released their kernel source code for ICS. Hopefully this helps our development move right along.

Samsung is in close communication with both Google and our carrier partners to upgrade devices to Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich as quickly and as smoothly as possible. Specific models that will receive the ICS update include the following devices. Other specifics for the ICS update in the U.S. have not been announced.
This list may be altered as updates are confirmed or released.
Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus Wi-Fi (P6210)
How about P6200?
Engadget:
On AT&T, ICS is confirmed for its Galaxy S II, the Galaxy S II Skyrocket, Galaxy Note, Captivate Glide, Nexus S and Galaxy Tab 8.9. T-Mobile customers, however, lack a similarly breathless list of upgradable hardware, instead Samsung says it will aim to upgrade "eligible devices" in the coming months and will "provide updates as we have additional details to share." Which all sounds like those updates aren't coming to Big Magenta any time soon. Samsung vows to update the list with more details as they arrive, which is available at the source below.
BS samsung

Well good thing I have the 6210!
good to know
OP,
The announcement was made by Samsung mobile in the US.
The P6200 doesn't sell officially in the US so Samsung US didn't announce anything about it.
The P6200 was already announced by Samsung Korea as being upgraded soon.

Hmmm, interesting tot see that my device is in the list to. I think i'm gonna have to wait a bit longer before it rolls out in my country

hopefully samsung will release ICS for Tab Plus sooner... been waiting for it for quite awhile... honeycomb also not updates.. maybe they are working for the ICS to be release... hopefully..
... I use P6201 3g and i hope after ics update i can remove all samsung **** from the phone...in short, the samsung features implemented in 3.2 are useless for me.
All other devices i use like HD2(with ics) and Xoom (with 3.2) are better to use.
Still waiting for ICS and upcomming cm9 rom.
is there anyone who has information about an ics update for the p6200 in germany/austria?
I can't find anything in the web.
Cu, gurry.
i think it's just announced...
here it is the link

According to MobileSyrup.
"Good news for some Canadian Samsung Galaxy owners today. I just received an email that Samsung and respective carriers will start to push out the long awaited upgrade to Android OS 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich today"
Here’s the complete list of devices that will be graced with Android OS 4.0:
- GALAXY S II
- GALAXY S II LTE
- GALAXY S II LTE HD
- GALAXY S II X
- GALAXY Note
- GALAXY Tab 7.0
- GALAXY Tab 7.0 Plus
- GALAXY Tab 8.9
- GALAXY Tab 10.1
More details on their site.
No offense but your post is a LITTLE misleading. For full article go to http://mobilesyrup.com/2012/04/30/s...de-will-be-available-today-on-select-devices/
All they're really saying is that today is the START of the ICS rollout, which is supposed to last throughout the quarter. This means that the Skyrocket may not get the update until late June. Still, it is a good start. Maybe it'll lead to development of some more stable ICS roms.
The subject cut off a little yes.
Not meaning to be misleading, but this is a good sign no? Might indeed be the Skyrocket if Rogers is the first carrier ready with the bloatware.
Looks like at least 1 device is getting ICS today, so good news!
I got relegated. ;-)
