I have a Galaxy Tab from Singtel (Asian version) and this are the following steps I did to get Android 2.3.3 onto my Tab.
I followed instructions found on this page
Here are more details :

You need to input the APN data for the 3G to work. In Singapore, I'm using Singtel, and here are the following information that finally worked for me and my Galaxy Tab. 1st APN -> IDEAS. There is a Green Light selected on this option
Name: IDEAS
APN: e-ideas
Everything else is blank
2nd APN -> IDEAS MMS
Name - IDEAS MMS
APN - e-ideas
Proxy - 165.21.42.84
Port - 8080
Username - 65IDEAS
Password - ideas
Server - *
MMSC - http://mms.singtel.com:10021/mmsc
MMS proxy - 165.21.42.84
MMS port - 8080
MMC - 525
MNC - 01
Authentication type -
APN type - mms
With the above settings I am able to surf the web go to the Android Market and install stuffs everything is ok EXCEPT sending out MMS
The minute I edit the First APN to have the same settings as the second, I'm disconnected to the 3G network. I cannot surf the web at all, but can send MMS.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
I'll review the Android 2.3.3 at a later date after using it for a while.
