Samsung has provided us with this update statement: "Samsung UK is working hard to bring Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) to our Galaxy S II customers. We are unable to confirm exact dates as the software testing and approval process is subject to several variables, but we are working as quickly as we can. Thank you for your patience."The company did not respond to a request for details of how many UK SIM-free S2 owners have been updated to ICS so far. It was also unable to tell us when the rollout to UK S2 users not locked to a mobile network would be completed. Samsung's original statement about the update only specified a start date -- "the week commencing 19 March" -- which has led to a lot of confusion among SIM-free S2 owners.

Several CNET UK readers have complained they still can't see any ICS update when they connect their S2 to Samsung's phone management software Kies, "Just checked for update via Kies again and as of 13:22 it's still saying no update available, and that I have the latest firmware," said one reader posting a comment today, "I am a SIM-free owner, Bought my phone through affordable mobiles with contract on Three but still no update, I amazon iphone screen protector 6 have checked every day but I am now getting bored," wrote another..

Many S2 owners are especially angry that mobile network Three has been able to rollout the ICS update, seemingly before Samsung itself has rolled it out to all the UK's SIM-free S2 owners. "It's Friday 23rd March and SIM free users of the Samsung Galaxy S II (SGSII) are still waiting for the official ICS release," said another CNET reader who contacted me directly. "Three UK branded phones have already received the update, which means they've had time to get it from Samsung make their modifications and release it. This makes it seem ludicrous that Samsung cannot get a release out to un-branded phones, especially when some people could have spent ~£500 upfront in order to get their hands on such a device.

"If the problem is that there is bugs in the software and Samsung are wanting to hold fire for a while then why don't they just announce that to everyone? Communication is the key here, I'm sure people would rather hear that they're having to delay it due to bugs that have cropped up rather than just having to second guess what is going on," he added, Many readers have also complained that Samsung has not given a more specific timeframe for when they should expect the release, "It is pathetic to see there is no news on update for unlocked SGS2, Samsung could have at least released a statement, Do they not care about customers who bought the phone outside a contract of have an unlocked SGS2 from their network provider? What a shameful way to manage such a amazon iphone screen protector 6 major update!" yelled one reader posting a comment..

Apple has proposed a design for the fourth form factor (4FF) nano-SIM, which it wants the European Telecommunications Standards Institute to adopt as a standard for all phones. Nokia, Motorola and RIM are less keen, and Nokia today denounced Apple's plan in no uncertain terms. Nokia told us it believes that Apple's proposal doesn't meet the requirements set by the ETSI, hinging on Apple's plan to make the nano-SIM the same length as the width of the current generation of micro-SIM, and place the nano-SIM in a drawer or tray like the one found in the iPhone and iPad. Nokia told us "our proposal has features which would make it easier for consumers to insert and remove the SIM without damage. Additionally, our proposed SIM has different dimensions from a micro SIM, one of ETSI's requirements, which would avoid it getting stuck if inserted by mistake into a phone with a micro SIM slot."Nokia also complains that Apple's plan doesn't take into account lower cost devices: Nokia's bread and butter, but an area that smart phone maker Apple has no interest in. The Finnish company says if the SIM needs a tray, it'll limit the design options for new phones and tablets: "Requiring a tray or SIM carrier would reduce design options and increase manufacturing cost, perhaps not significant for high end smartphones but it would be for lower cost devices."Nokia believes that although the nano-SIM itself is smaller than current versions, the tray and associated kit proposed by Apple mean that it doesn't actually make phones any smaller: "We believe that in practice it would mean it was just different from micro SIM, rather than smaller, which could be a barrier to broad adoption as an alternative to micro SIM, potentially leading to fragmentation."A final concern is left unspoken: that adoption of Apple's proposal would leave Apple controlling a significant number of patents relating to the industry standard.
