From DailyTech: We reported last week that Samsung was withholding the next Android OS update (2.2) for T-Mobile's Galaxy S variant, the Vibrant, in order to boost sales of the upcoming Vibrant 4G. There have been a number of developments in this story since then, including a #NeverAgain Twitter hashtag aimed at Samsung that still continues to be popular as of this writing; and a class-action lawsuit filed against the handset manufacturer and T-Mobile, claiming deceptive trade practices. An excerpt from an XDADevelopers post by the gentleman filing the lawsuit: "they have continuously lied to us about the hardware, Samsung had this to say, in a response to CNET: "Samsung feels it is important to make the Android 2.2/Froyo upgrade available only after we feel that we can give the millions of U.S. Galaxy S owners a simple and reliable upgrade experience. Due to the complexity and unique functionality of each Galaxy S device, we are performing additional testing and are working to make the Android 2.2/Froyo upgrade available to all U.S. Galaxy S owners, including the Samsung Vibrant, as soon as possible."
