Vodafone terminates Galaxy S warranty if updated to official firmware

This has got to be one of the absurd reasons but it�s true. Vodafone claims that any firmware update not approved by them � even if it�s an official update from the handset manufacturer � consumer will lose the Vodafone warranty but will have manufacturer�s warranty. Apparently, Vodafone warranty allows users to repair the handsets if the device was �Vodafone approved software�.

The issue has surfaced on Vodafone�s official forums where Galaxy S users were reportedly discussing newly released Galaxy S firmware via KIES � Samsung�s official software.

This expectedly, hasn�t gone well with the Galaxy S owners and it will be interesting to see if Vodafone budges down from its stance.
