Samsung I9100 Galaxy S II will get ICS on March 10

Just as we were getting ready to get it on March 15, we got even better news. Samsung I9100 Galaxy S II will be receiving an update to Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich on March 10 - less than 48 hours from now.

The globally available I9100 will be the only version, which will receive the update at the moment. The TouchWiz-ed firmware will be available both on Kies and OTA.

As you can see in the screenshot above, Face Unlock, Android Beam, and mobile data usage are among the major improvements which will come with the update. In a rather interesting fashion, flash support and Bluetooth 3.0 HS will not be supported due to an "ICS OS feature."

Samsung also warn against updating your device while running a customized or unofficial firmware on it. Apparently, unexpected problems might arise during installation.

It is needless to tell you that we will be checking regularly our office I9100 for the update. In case you upgrade your own handset, feel free to drop us a line with your impressions in the comments section. In the meantime, check out our video preview of an unofficial ICS ROM for the I9100 here.

Thanks to everyone, who sent this in!

Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G for T-Mo USA coming in late March

Samsung and T-Mobile USA announced the Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G in early January, but it took them this long to announce the launch date (more frustratingly, they haven?t announced all the specs just yet).

The Blaze 4G has a 3.97" Super AMOLED screen, is powered by a 1.5GHz dual-core CPU in a Qualcomm Snapdragon S3 chipset and runs Android 2.3 Gingerbread. It has two cameras - 5MP camera with 720p video recording to replace your point-and-shoot camera and a 1.3MP front-facing camera for video chatting purposes.

The phone will also come with TeleNav GPS Navigator preloaded, which provides voice-guided navigation, although the press release doesn?t make it clear if it's free and for how long.

Samsung and T-Mobile have stuffed the Galaxy S Blaze 4G with all that because according to their studies, nearly 80% of smartphone are less likely to carry other devices (cameras, GPS units, etc.) with them.

The 4G stands for 42Mbps HSPA+ by the way, not LTE.

Anyway, you'll be able to grab a Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G from T-Mobile USA stores, dealers and retailers starting in late March. With a 2-year contract (on the Classic plan), it will set you back $150 after $50 mail-in rebate.

Samsung to reveal its mobile line-up for 2012 on March 15

We got a little disappointed when Samsung announced that they won't be holding a press conference at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona this month. Rumors, however, turned out to be true, and Samsung will indeed hold a separate press event on March 15 in Amsterdam.

The image above represents the invitation Samsung is sending out for the event in question. As usual, the image doesn't reveal much, but the "Samsung Line-up 2012" sign at the top and bottom are enough to get our wish-wheel spinning.

Could Samsung be announcing the eagerly-awaited by every Android fan Galaxy S III or will this be sort of a warm-up event to show off some of the mid-range products Sammy has prepared for this year?

At this point all that we could do is just guess, although an early spring announcement of the S III will give the Koreans plenty of time for, say, a summer launch.

We'll have to wait and see. In the meantime, you may want to stick around for our in-depth MWC 2012 coverage starting this Sunday.
