I am concerned, based on a friend's experience with a Behold II that Samsung will abandon the device and not provide software updates. In the case of the Behold II, Samsung promised an update to Android 2.0 when it became available. After it did, Samsung claimed that it wasn't compatible with the device. Third-party developers succeeded in running 2.1 on it, but, lacking drivers, many hardware features did not work.

In this case there is already an early beta firmware of Android 2.2 floating around to prove that they are working on it, plus they've open sourced the drivers: http://www.androidguys.com/2010/07/30/samsung-open-sources-captivate-sghi897-code/ http://www.androidguys.com/2010/07/30/samsung-open-sources-c...
