Owners of the Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G on T-Mobile can let out a sign of relief, because their phones are finally getting Ice Cream Sandwich, according to T-Mobile. Of course, owners of this device would probably prefer to see Jelly Bean come to their device. Still, it’s hard to complain about a free upgrade for your device.
Currently, the Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G is sitting on Android 2.3.6 Gingerbread. This move will bring them up to Android 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich. Owners of these devices should be quite happy about the major jump between 2.3.6 and 4.0.4.
The update will roll out gradually starting now and it should be available to everyone sometime tomorrow. Some users are reporting that the update is available for their Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G right now, but your results may vary. Either way, if you do not see the update yet, do not fret, because it will be there soon.
When the update becomes available users can update over the air or manually. If you choose to go the manual route, you will have to use Samsung Kies to do the update. Make sure you are using the latest version of Samsung Kies before you attempt to update your device.

Does this work on the prepaid version of the phone?
Would assume so it’s the same phone and you could upgrade it with the Samsung Kies.
i havent seen the ice cream update on my blaze yet. does that mean i wont get it?
Stick with Gingerbread. ICS stinks. It is slower and has no adobe flash support like Gingerbread does. Just not worth it. I wish I could go back to Gingerbread. Ugh!!!
