As reported from BGR, you’ll be pleased to know that the update will be available to download starting from Friday 21st January – i.e tomorrow for most of you. The update may have taken too long to release, but you have to agree that the update coming out now is better than not at all.

Even though T-Mobile are preparing to bring out the successor to the T-Mobile Vibrant, it’s nice to see that they still want to keep their original fanbase happy, as they could have easily left users on 2.1 – giving them the option to update to the Samsung Galaxy S 4G which will come with Froyo pre-installed.

As with most official Froyo rollouts, the update process will be a gradual one, so don’t panic if you do not receive the OTA notification tomorrow. For those of you that do, let us know how your handset fairs afterwards. We’ll be telling you about the new Vibrant 4G a bit later on.

As reported from BGR, you may not know that Samsung actually has a separate Twitter account for their Galaxy S smartphones, and they used to it to confirm the update for T-Mobile Vibrant users. Here it is in full:

”JI6 OTA now released for Vibrant! Watch for a message on your phone letting you know the update is ready for you! Thanks for your patience!”

Don’t worry if you haven’t received this ‘J16′ update yet, as the rollout process is still ongoing as we speak. For those of you who have already installed it, has the GPS problems been fixed for you?

Let us know about this, and any other changes you have noticed after updating.

Although the four previous Galaxy S smartphones are from the same family, each carrier added their subtle differences – with the Epic 4G from Sprint considered the best from the bunch. The Mesmerize is also different and shares a few Similarities with the T-mobile Vibrant.

The US Cellular Mesmerize has been in planning for a while now, and has only just started to share design and spec details. The handset has the same 4-inch Super AMOLED display and 5-megapixel camera as the Vibrant.

The handset also shares the same 1GHz processor as the other Galaxy S models, but that is about the only other feature that it shares. This is not the best Samsung Galaxy S phone from the range, but it is the best handset from US Cellular. MobileCrunch informs us that the smartphone will be available from October 27th.
