2.3.5 Official, but you can get latest 4.3 if you root it(and loose your guarantee), it works fine for me.

4.0 ice cream sandwich but you should be able to get any version you want its about what u know root it and install the new operating system if it gives you any problems load the OS onto an sd card and in settings somewhere you should be able to update without rooting it but if the company doesnt allow it root the device

check Android Froyo capabilities. That's the Android OS version running in the device.

No because android is 2.1 and playstore require android 4.0 for bbm download

If you mean can the Android version be upgraded - yes. But most makers are not in a hurry to upgrade their products, so in many cases you should not count on an upgrade to a later version. Google releases version updates on a regular basis but the maker has to take the Android release and adapt it to fit the device. And most of them do not.

http://myelsse.com/ is their website though that is all that shows. If you search sometimes you can find something. The site is rather "totally limited"If you use the search feature and search for "upgrade" you will get the following page that lists other models but not the 4.3http://myelsse.com/index.php/default/categorypage/categoryid/5/tit/Android%202.2??I have one coming first of the week, I will try to post back some thoughts.

Samsung has not released the update to jellybean for this phone. You can look in the internet for ways to unlock the operating system and install non-Samsung upgrades.

I have not personally tried, however, I see no reason you will not be able to go to lollipop if you wish. Google wants everything to work with their cloud storage concept. That being said, it only makes sense to allow for the upgrade. I have not heard anything that would make me think otherwise. As with any change, make sure your important stuff is backed up first.

Yes, I recently upgraded to version 4.4.2. This is the second update since I purchased the phone. Nice thing was the phone told me that there is a new version of android available.
