As a galaxy s2 user I am of course first and foremost concerned about whether the SGS2 can take JB and i believe it can and whether Samsung will update them to JB or only later model phones such as the SGS3?
Thoughts, questions anyone on which phones will get it? Most dual core phones should be future proof right guys and gals?

XDA will come to our rescue if Samsung don't release it for the S2
so I'm not that all concerned.

I doubt GS2 will get JB going by Samsung's recent history of Android updates 
Anyway, Xperia S is confirmed to get JB.

What on earth are you on about??? The Galaxy S went from 2.1 to 2.2.1 to 2.3.4 to 2.3.6, and its last update was in April this year, i cant think of any other 2010 Android except the Desire HD that has recieved an update this year, going by that and the GS2's success, we should see GS2 and GNote getting Android4.1 JB, much to the dismay of Samsung haters, especially around here. 
On the other hand i wonder how long it will take Sony to release 4.1 after seeing how long it has taken for 4.0 to arrive to their 1st 2012 phone.

Well despite the slow updates the xperia x10 got well supported. quite well up from 1.6 to 2.3.3 so that's pretty much the same as the galaxy s! Sony or Se have done a fine. job updating the majority of their 2011 lineup to ICS which is the most phones to ICS compared to all android OEMs! |

I think any device that has 4.0 should and will be updated to 4.1, and IMO, all 2011 se users deserve this update. The 4.0 update was really bad, and 4.1 update is focused on performance.
Also s2 will definitely get jellybean, Samsung does support their flagship devices well.
@chunkybeats,
X10 was released with 1.6 when 2.1 was current, intact 2.2 came out within months of x10. Finally after a big commotion they decided to get 2.3.3 on board.
Also I would never consider the ics update which Sony brought to 2012 devices as an update because it's more of a catching up. The real update should be when they get out 4.1. This is of course just my opinion.
P.s -sorry about the whole post being jumbled up.

Any device with specs which are comparable to the current Nexus (Galaxy Nexus S) which is getting JB SHOULD get JB as well, from a technical point of view. However, what should happen and what actually happens are two different things, in different worlds, especially when it comes to Android updates and the OEMs. I think its about economics, and the desire by OEMs to get us to get new devices and push their sales. Unless there is a huge outcry, as was the case with the HTC Desire and the on-again-off-gain GB update, the OEMs will turn a blind eye.
I think it's crazy that while OEMs are struggling to get ICS out and with it's relatively low adoption rate, JB is upon us! Seriously? If the Nexus devices had cutting edge tech (the camera on the current Nexus is pitiful, not to mention issues with signal and other well documented issues), I would just stick with them to guarantee getting updates at least.
If it is to be it is up to me! |

Was doing a Google search WRT the GS2 and which JB FW is the very latest one as my GS2 is showing that it has a OTA Update and came across this thread...
Rather interesting how things have turned out...
Had a good laugh at the following:

Think the GS2 is now on it's 2nd revision of the JB update... Xperia S?
