I currently have an iPhone 3GS and I'm deciding between an iPhone 4S and a Samsung Galaxy S II. The Galaxy S II will ship with Gingerbread, but one thing I was wondering about was the way Android updates work. Are you only able to update within the OS you have (i.e. updates within Gingerbread=3.2.0 to 3.2.1), or can you update to the next level altogether(Gingerbread to Ice Cream Sandwich)?
