Why is this not surprising ? Well, because something similar happened with the Galaxy S Android 2.2 Froyo roll out last year. Google has apparently suspended the Gingerbread roll out for the Galaxy S that started last week-end because of problems with the ROM and I personally hope the Samsung changes a couple of things in there before pushing it out again.

As I said previously, I found the latest Froyo roms to be snappier out of the box and didn’t appreciated some of the changes done (new notification bar, button back lights always on..) so I decided to stick with it instead of using the 2.3.3.
