Samsung Galaxy SII not likely to get any more Android updates

I recently acquired an S2 (GT-I9210T) for $50 and think I'll just go to CM10.1 as the standard Honeycomb licks balls and the M0tter 4.1.ROM I'm on although it is nice and smooth seems to be chewing the battery?
I am with Exetel (Optus services) here in Australia and this is a Telstra 4G LTE phone so could be a prob there!

I don't know why Samsung continue to do this though (not update) as it just pisses people off to no end that like the updates.

To hard basket I suppose for the rich...

Just be thankful for all the hard working devs who create aosp ROMs, I had same problem with my archos tablet which officially only goes up to ics, but it it runs cm10 4.2.2 really well even tho archos claim the g9 would not run jellybean due to hardware problems, translate this to what the statement should really read "we don't want to waste money developing for old devices, go buy our new tablet instead if u want jellybean"
