So, it's not Ice Cream Sandwich, but a few days ago T-Mobile began pushing out an update to Gingerbread on the GS-II. Not being one to want to wait for the over the air update, I went ahead and followed the instructions to download Samsung's KIES and grab the update for my phone.
LDE is the updated firmware version (GINGERBREAD.UVLDE).
There's no new functionality in the update, but it does fix some bugs and more importantly, some security vulnerabilities. Once such vulnerabilities are out in the open, someone's going to try to exploit it, so I didn't like the idea of having to wait as late as June 22nd for the OTA update.
That June 22nd date is also disappointing, in that now we know that we'll have to wait until after that date, for ICS to be available.
Sucks.
