Warren, I cannot decipher any difference between the 2 models listed. I think they are one in the same. That said, if the merchant told you that it is better than its predecessor, that may indeed be true--if he is comparing it the 61/71 series or the 65 series from last year's model line. But even Samsung's website doesn't mention the S2F being any sort of an upgrade or anything like that. I've been looking at the A860 for a while. The slim depth plus its couple extra features make it a bit more attractive than the 6 or 7 series lines.

It's no longer getting Android OS updates. I think it stopped at 4.2.2. There is a way to get later versions of Android on it (unofficially), but this requires some after market modifications (not for the technology impaired).

It will probably ship with 4.1 but updates will become available. Mine just updated to 4.4.2 (Kit Kat)

Well my guess is you have lattes icons and config Samsung should come out for new Evolution kit for 2015 one come out for ewery year. Guess if you happy with your icons and set up you don't need to buy ? Maybe increased faster chip in evolution kit but it's woth $200.00. ????

Thanks for the info. Guess i have to wait for the newer firmware version. Since I purchase on Amazon, i assume i would have to work it through Samsung if i bricked it. P.S. Funny enough, when I first received the unit, i tried to do a firware upgrade and it said that none were available. It should have been, so maybe i was lucky it didn't work.

I really dont remember what it initially came with but it keeps updating so the latest of every apps are always on it. Right now its running 4.2.2. It has updated the OS since I got it. As long as a later version of the OS comes out, you will be prompted. As for the regular apps, they automatically update.

I would go through Verizon to get this phone. As long as your contract is up, it will give you the option of signing up again for 1 or 2 years. And since this would be re-signing up for a contract, you will get the discounted price to upgrade your phone. I am not sure how Amazon does the upgrades and therefore would suggest going through Verizon for that. Hope this helped.

At the present time you cannot update this tablet to Android 2.2 (or even 2.1). Unless Velocity Micro decides to make an update of the OS and decides to use Android 2.1 or 2.2 for that upgrade, you will never be able to use the later versions of Android (you could, if you knew how, root the device and try to update the OS -- I don't know how myself, and I believe that there are no instructions on the internet to do so with this tablet. Some users are pessimistic about the likelihood of there being updates that consist of a more modern Android OS. You might want to wait a while until tablets that use Honeycomb come out which should make a tablet much more functional -- since Google is designing Honeycomb to function on tablets. As you know, Android 1 and 2 were made exclusively for cell phones.

Hi, I don't really know what the difference is between the 1 and 2. I'm not even sure which model I have, although I assume it's a 2. I've had it since early 2012 and I think the 2's came out in 2011. I looked up the images online and, frankly, I can't tell the difference either. Sorry, I know this isn't much help.

Samsung introduced the VE version of the i8200 March 2014. Basically it is the same phone as the S3 mini but with some variations which they say are improvements. I can't put all the details here but if you do a search for i8200 value edition there are several review articles.

HTC said they will be releasing an upgrade to 2.2 in February. I am also - and anxiously - waiting for that. I read it is supposed to be a universal upgrade, i.e. not linked to any service providers. We'll see soon what it is...

Mine came with 4.2.2 I believe it was originally released with 4.1.1 but they updated it to 4.2.2 in June or July. They've also released a few firmware updates since then. It is fairly easy to update and now have true 1080P output. They also fixed the problem where sdcards and usb media were being 'dropped'. I'm in the military and currently TDY. I've been using my cx-919 to chat with my family on skype with a MS HD-5000 webcam and playing games. I've been loving beach buggy blitz and drag racing on the big screen playing with a wireless game pad.
