Telus Samsung Galaxy S2 X Ice Cream Sandwich rolling out

Just as the heat of the summer is about to kick in, owners of the Samsung Galaxy S2 X on Telus will have something sweet to cool them down. The Canadian carrier has rolled out the long-awaited Android 4.0.3 Ice Cream Sandwich upgrade for Samsung Galaxy S2 X – despite the initial plan of delivering it only from June 12. Hey, this is one trend that we can definitely get on board with, and one that other carriers should take note.

The ICS upgrade for Samsung Galaxy S2 X has been rolling out since yesterday, as reported by many ecstatic owners of the phone. Those who have yet to see the update notification on their phone may want to check the Kies desktop software, because that’s apparently where the magic is happening. Upon connecting your phone to the software, you’ll be prompted to download the latest firmware update.

Amongst the happy faces, some weren’t quite content to see how ICS looks like on the Samsung Galaxy S2 X. But that’s just human nature. Anyhow, we’d love to hear whether you’ve received the ICS update or not. Are you in the happy camp or the less-than-happy one?

Something isn’t right… Is the phone still buggy or something?

  Not likely. They may be having issues getting enough stock in. Samsung is doing a 50 country simultaneous launch which likely explains why the 32GB version is delayed a month or two and some carriers already sold out of their initial orders. This isn’t some Apple PR crap where they string the different countries along to make each market wait and wait and wait for each version of an over priced phone.

Considering they force 3 year contracts on poor folks up north, I would take a $100 credit if I had to wait 2 weeks, no problem at all.

Telus never notified me with this offer….they just simply decided not to ship the phone because my billing and shipping address were different and they never notified me that this was a problem for them and was apparently against company policy to do so without talking to the customer first. So when it did not arrive within the promised 1-3 business days I called them and they informed me of the so called problem. I explained that the billing address is at the home I own and the shipping address is a temporary address where I am currently residing. When I asked why I wasn’t notified that it was an issue and asked why if there was an issue they would allow you to enter different billing and shipping address on their website? After finally talking to a manager they agreed it was their fault and they agreed to ship it out that day and told me I would be receiving a shipping notification by email and offered me a $50 credit. That was on Tuesday. On Wednesday, I still hadn’t received the shipping notification and called them back. This time they told me that they sent the order to the warehouse but that it may take 3-5 business days to receive the phone. I reminded them of their shipping promise outlined on their website of 1-3 business days and asked to speak to a manager. They told me none were available and that they would tell me the same thing. After reading the article…things are making sense.
