My Galaxy S2 has gingerbread, so I assume it's for yours to.
This is for Galaxy S
Updates
The Android version is network operator dependent and will normally be upgraded over the air, but this will not occur when a handset is configured for one network operator but operated on another network.[citation needed] The latest official Android version for a handset configured for any carrier is available using the Samsung Kies application.[citation needed] There are also third party versions of Android available for the Galaxy S, for example Darky's Rom, but installing them may void the owner's warranty.[citation needed].
Samsung is willing to freely upgrade those early devices which do not update via Kies. In the UK at least any Galaxy S should be upgradable to Android 2.3.3.
Android 2.2 upgrade
When launched, the Galaxy S had Android 2.1 ("Eclair") installed. An official upgrade to Android 2.2 ("Froyo") began rolling out worldwide in November 2010.[30]
Canada received the 2.2 upgrade for select carriers on December 10, 2010.[31]
According to Samsung the 2.2 upgrade should be coming to the USA in early 2011.[32] The 2.2 upgrade was released for T-Mobile on January 20, 2011.[33] It enabled stock Android features that had previously been disabled such as Wi-Fi Calling and Mobile AP.
Verizon's Fascinate was upgraded to Android 2.2 in April 2011. Verizon's Continuum variant, however, remains on Android 2.1.
Android 2.3 upgrade
An Android 2.3 ("
Gingerbread") update became available for Nordic countries, The Netherlands and Germany on April 16, 2011. The update reached UK, India and HongKong by the end of May, 2011. Singapore received the update in June. Australia received the update in August. For other countries it is expected to be available later.
