The three Galaxy S II variants in the US have yet to receive the Android 4.0 ICS upgrade but the unlocked version is going to be the first to get it. An OTA update was pushed out today and will allow you to update your device to the newest version of the operating system.
The update comes in a 126MB package, and will wipe your settings for music playlist, Homescreens, APN, and other things so make sure you have everything backed up that you want to keep. The download shouldn’t take too long depending on the connection you have and you can use the phone while downloading the update.
If you have not yet received the notification about the update you can check manually in the settings.

I started out as a Blackberry user and once that phone was stolen I went to Radio Shack looking at the HD2. Blackberry wasn't cutting it and admittedly I didn't know much about technology, or Android at that point so I looked at the phone with the biggest screen. I'm a media guy and I like to have it mobile. At that point the HD2 had a massive screen and that's exactly what I wanted. Immediately when I got there the manager talked me out of getting a windows device and talked me into Android. I didn't know much about CPUs, Android versions, or what a good spec sheet even looked like. I settled with the Samsung Sidekick and immediately began to hate Android. Probably from the ugly skin and the terrible specs that device had. I started looking how to make the device better and found XDA. That's when it all changed. I started learning about rooting, and flashing. From there I would go on to come across Android websites. How I found Land of Droid was through Twitter. I used #android once and John mentioned me asking if I would like to write for an Android blog. I was hesitant at first but I began to immediately love it. I am now a huge technology fan in all aspects not just mobile. Now when looking for a device I will now know that there are more to specs than a screen size.
