The lag comes from the file system that samsung put in the device, if they were going to change that they would have done it a long time ago so we are stuck with it (unless you take things into your own hands).
The 2.2.1 does make it quicker but the lag will probably appear again down the line. Keep on at them, if customers do nothing then they will assume everyone is happy.
I agree with domanic on this but we have herd this before, What is a concern is what is going on in the states is that Samsung has been accused of selling updates to there suppliers but they were quick to say no on this, I want Samsung to be the only one to update its phones and it looks like this will be the case in the future as the Nexus s is looked after only by Samsung this is the same in the states, The reason for this is the Hash Networks make of updating Smart phones, Company's such as Samsung are fed up with what is going on. But How will this affect us well hopefully not at the moment but with the delay in this update it is concerning as to what is going on,
But This is the same as what happened to the HTC customers and a update getting Vodafone out of it. We all praised Vodafone and they gave a big dig at there competitors But why has it slowed up, Well may be cos we got what we wanted yes we did but alot of the updates are maintained updates to fix problems that manufactures find. This is a maintenance update not a major one the next major one will be 2.3.
These are smart phones and work like computers but i think Vodafone have not yet got there head round this, Yes we no how to update the phone via odin but as domanic says why should we have to hack the phone to put official updates on this should of been sent out the same time, The other problem we have is the eforum staff i only no one that knows what is going on or is willing to help
TOM CAN YOU LOOK INTO THIS
It is a Maintenance Update !!!!!!!!!!!
I get the feeling that if enough people jump on this thread then somewhere down the line VF may release for their branded devices, but it may take some time, last time VF pushed out a minor update it was a disaster and did not get fixed until the 2.2 major update.
The fact is that 2.2.1 is out there, it is easy to do, albeit at your own risk, but isn't that the same for the kies updates? The solution is using odin, it is quicker, follow instructions and should be no problems, and save yourself a lot of banging on at VF in this forum.

Ndj, You know I always love your posts, especially the ones with big Red text.. they always put a smile on my face 
and yes I agree with you that its high time Vodafone released a 2.2.1 for their customers, but really dude you're suuuuuuch a Samsung fan boy. I bet you've got lots of sammy products all around your house... admit it 
You're always defending Samsung, but Sammy are the problem here. There IS an issue with 3g battery drain and 2.2.1
and as such its in everyone's interest that Vodafone don't accept this from Samsung and get them to sort it out.
Samsung have been a real joke with updates and this phone, not just here on Vodafone, but world wide on every network, especially in the US.
None of us know what is going on behind the scenes and there are commercial agreements between networks and Samsung which prevent too much info getting out, but one things for sure, Samsung are the ones who consistently let their customers down around the world when it comes to this device. Whereas other manufacturers such as HTC seem to have a bit more organised.
Personally I have had a serious issue with Samsung over the past few months with what is essentially a complete lack of communication to its customers over such issues as GPS, LAG, FROYO update
They have consistently ignored customers complaints on their facebook and twitter pages ( the same is not true of Vodafone)
All I can say is that for me it appears that they have their head buried in the sand when it comes to updates and sorting out the issues with this phone whilst revelling in their sales figures for this device.
My uncle lives in the states and there networks are a joke, They have more models of the Galaxy s one has sneaked under the radar here the 551 but it is not as higher spec it is on vodafone now. they have loads of other models but Samsung have there technical based there for the US (Big place!!!) we don't but there networks are getting a kicking from Samsung over the Nexus S as it is only sold via best buys and Samsung are the only ones looking after it this is also the same here with the Nexus S only being sold via carphone warehouse. Samsung's response was the way Networks messed around with there firmware now the last update was a test and all networks in the uk except Vodafone failed, Hence why Orange customers suffered. Now there was rummer's that Samsung were charging for updates to Networks Now they have said No this is not true but how do we no this is not happening. Now they can not charge for the update it's self as Android is open sauce but are they charging for sending it out
I HOPE NOT!!!!
Now in the states they have said that due to all the models they do they need to check the updates work on all the models eg with the Hardware, Ok that's fine but here we only have one Galaxy s now they have released the 2.2.1 and it seems fine although it does sound like the old battery problem may be back but my battery on 2.2 can drain fast if i'm doing any thing heavy with it but on stand by i get two days easy, A updated battery would do me i have seen the bigger battery of ebay and that looks pants.
Any how the tab does do a massive drain as well if not worce
Now there is no update for that at and that's a non branded
So were back to the old thing again Samsung blame the networks the networks no nothing well the do cos we have told them on here what been don well no doubt one or two emails sent but as this is not as major as last time well it is the fact is if a manufacture brings a service update out we should get it automatic but we don't why well its cos networks want to mess around with them we had this they said it was to enhance our network experience well in fact it was to put bloat ware on they learnt the had way so we hoped they learnt a lesson well maybe they did we will never no, and we don't no what happens behind closed doors.
The only real answer to all this is not to buy the phone from the Network but like the tab Direct or via high street shops then you ether go on a contract or pay as you go then networks can sort out there own problems out eg the 3G
Now most people thought carphone warehouse we all non branded well No they have there own device code now who's idea was the device code well Samsung's now this i do understand a little but it could of been done better the Device code is to limit how many people down load the update so as not to crash there servers, well yes good idea but having separate ones for networks was the bad bit, this is why code with EU in have the update and us ending in VOD have not what they should of done was don it by batch then we all get it on different weeks.
Now if your still confused after all that ranting your not alone this is a mess and it still will be Iphone customers laugh at android for this.... Only thing they can tho but Apple said No to Networks messing around and it worked.
Until Samsung do this we will have this every time a update comes out
Now you can Pay £20 and have your phone de branded at a service centre yes it voids your Vodafone warranty but after 30 days its worth nothing any how the de branding does not void your Samsung warranty and its a EU device code you get as well.
Or even better we were just offered a download like the Odin but kies just installs it
But now we have a two year contract were held to ransom well Vodafone as you no we don't stand for it or go away so look after us or when the contracts come up we will walk
Yes i no i can Cancel my contract but out of all of them Vodafone have the best forum and got the update out But they have lousy customer service it is like Russian rootlet, When my contract is finished i will not use them to update i will use Carphone warehouse or phones 4 u. I may even just go pay as you go cos the way things are going wifi calls are cheaper i'm in a BT Hotspot and as the advert says it works.
Networks have only them self to blame Vodafone has gone down hill fast it is not the same as it was five years ago, Even the updating proses was painless, Now it is a mess We don't get any info other then we don't no any thing we find out before they do.
Samsung Technical is not much better but they are addressing this and moving it back later this year to the UK. Take Note Vodafone as for the Updates this cloak and dagger thing has to stop which if Samsung take over it will
Now Vodafone won't like it cos they carn't do there branding But Vodafone Branding has gone buy the wayside this was a year 2000 idea i can only see it working on pay as you go. But it does not work as you have found out twice now
Release 2.2.1 Vodafone cos yes you do no about it maybe your sulking cos of Samsung going down this road well its your own doing and its up to you to sort this
