took a lot of 'steps' writen by some very cool and intelligent dudes.. and now my already cool Galaxy I9000 is beyond any android i've seen.

froyo/2.2 is badass.

it's risky and you might brick your phone if yer an idiot or unlucky.. thankfully.. i'm all good

2.2 somewhat of a wild goose chase

Jumped the gun a bit. It's out there ; it's possible ; and seeing as I have a European model and the French version of the 2.2 Froyo for the Galaxy S is out makes me think happy thoughts.. but nothing solid yet other than some hack together upgrades I've found.

Looks like it might be officially judging from the last 2 days of rumors circling around the net..
