One more handset runs Android 2.4, is it an improved Nexus S?
Here are the facts - a handset with model number GT-i9023 paid a visit to the FCC with the AWS 3G band, which happens to be the spectrum T-Mobile uses. Moreover, Samsung GT-i9023 sounds pretty much like Samsung GT-i9020, which is, yes, you guessed it right - the model number of the Google Nexus S (while i9000 was the original Galaxy S). Furthermore, in a leaked video, a handset, which is strangely reminiscent of the Nexus S, has a baseband version starting with i9023. On top of that, it runs Android 2.4.

As we reported to you, this version of Android may be a minor Gingerbread update in the same way 2.1 updated Eclair 2.0, Ice Cream (Sandwich) or... a configuration error.

To make the mystery even bigger, this handset received both Wi-Fi Alliance and Bluetooth SIG certification and some European retailers are calling this handset a "Black Silver" Nexus S.

With all these leaked details, it's virtually certain that we'll have some kind of announcement for this Samsung GT-i0923 model very soon. What's your opinion on this interesting story?

i'm huge fan of android, but these updates and dessert OS rumors are getting out of hand. Barely anyone has 2.3, and a lot of people still dont have 2.2.

I agree with you. i am also a big android fan but this is the reason i miss iOS, the android updates are just not organized i mean some phones like my vibrant still has 2.1 while some people are running 2.3/2.4 is just ridiculous

Thats why you don't get a bottom feeder android phone, or one with a ridiculous UI overlay like the touch wiz on the galaxy S phones. The closer your phone is to base android, and the better the specs, the faster you'll get your software updates.

I don't know if that's a photo of a real device or what but it doesn't look like a finished product. Look at the spelling of "number" they spelled "nummer". I haven't seen any misspellings like that in my galaxy s model.
