Menu - Settings - About - Software Info

At least on my HTC Wildfire, should be the same on Samsung.

Menu - settings - About Phone (down the bottom)

If you haven't upgraded the firmware, it'll be 2.1 Eclair.

Worth skipping the official 2.2 Froyo updates and trying to get hold of the latest 2.2.1 (JPX or JPY) releases, as Samsung actually got round to fixing a big pile of things which they seemed to miss on the 2.2 updates, and utterly transforms the phone wioth no lagfixes or other bodges required.

Either that, or official 2.3 Gingerbread should be coming february/march time.

Easiest way is just open up the Samsung Kies software (free download), plug it in, and click update! :mrgreen:
