This wasn't on VM but

I had an I7500 (The original Galaxy) which is still on 1.5 officially in the UK, Managed to get 1.6 on it (firmware from another Region) but the only way it will ever get 2.2 is via the work of drakaz and the team of volunteers working on GAOSP.

I was pretty annoyed at the time to since i'd only had the phone for a few months when I found out that Samsung had pretty much dropped support for it.

One things for sure It's put me off buying samsung phones especially with android because there is no indication that the devices are being supported properly.

If you do want to go down the unofficial firmware route, you could try androidforums or modaco for information on doing it.
