Customer doesn't have a clue about it nor the service center guys.I read in a different forum that you need to go to the service center and complain the blue tooth is not working please fix it.They will upgrade the software and give.All they know is software upgrade do not talk about android ,cupcake and eclair.They have no clue about it:-[

Small correction mate.. I called the local service center. When I called the Samsung Call center all I got was a ticket no and no call back
Beat that 
Call up the service center in your locality, they might give you the same response.

I have a ticket no which was raised through email as i had tough time getting to their call center.I don't even know what are they up to let me call them tomorrow ans $crew their happiness
Well, when I called the CC, and asked about the 2.1 upgrade, the agent said, yes sir, its a good news for you 
, Android 2.1 is out for your phone. You have to take it to Service Centre as the upgrade is being deployed out of the SCs currently. The Service Centre guy was a lil confused when I told him I want to upgrade the Android version on my phone. He went inside and came back saying their Centre hadn't received the SOFTWARE and it was being downloaded. Finally asked me to come back in a day with proof of purchase and 1-2 hours for the procedure. Am going tomorrow to get it done. Have taken backup of messages & contacts on the SD already.

Metalspree,
I'm from Hyd and I got my Spica updated yesterday at the Kukatpally Service Center (near BJP Office). I've been pressing the Customer Care for many days regarding the same and yesterday the person who could do the update was available at the Service Center and I got a call from him to come. I was told the update will take around 1 hr but it actually took 3 hrs as there were issues with drivers on their machine. The guy who did the update for me is a Technical Trainer and he told me he's completed about 6-7 updates for folks all over AP.
I don't know where in Hyd you are located but I'd think your best bet would be to call up Samsung's Service Center in Basheerbagh (040-43444051) to check if someone is available to do the update for you.
My experience with Eclair thus far has been good. Haven't had a chance to play with it too much yet but have seen no crashes or excessive slowing down. The UI looks better and there are minor improvements everywhere along with the already well known major features. As expected, no Live Wallpapers. One small irritant is that widgets don't horizontally align with the shortcuts anymore which comes in the way of optimally using the available home screen space.
Here are the Technical Details:
Firmware Version: 2.1-update1
Baseband Version: i570EDDJC5
Build number: ECLAIR.DDJC5

Can someone tell me how to use GPRS on Spica? I'm on Vodafone. I've sent the VL message to 56586 so many times and I get the reply that the settings have been sent to me. But beyond that, I cannot seem to access the net via browser or market.
Can someone guide me on this please?

Hi reds4ever thanks for the info .
Go to contacts and click the menu button u can see import contacts ( this way u can copy the contacts from sims card to phone).
Without an app i guess you cannot take back up of contacts on simcard.In case you have access to market download app called contacts2sim

This is happening because you have the option to sync "ALL" your google contacts turned on !! go to the sync settings in the phonebook and only check the contacts you wish to sync. Then go to google.com/contacts on the web and click on "find duplicates" and merge them into single contacts. hope this helps.
