you are acting like this isn't happening with Android. there are still samsung Galaxy S users waiting for froyo while the HTCs have it already,oh and what about MOTO? the cliq and backflip are still stuck in Android 1.x

I said it before..Android is not any different...just people have been listing it as an Advantage of WP7 over other platforms and I was pointing out that it may not be the case..

Android updates are sent out by carriers only officially. wp7 updates can be done either OTA or by zune (like how Apple did with the release of iOS4 through iTunes). can't see how a carrier can block out a zune update.

They have to be approved by the carrier first..if its not approve by the carrier it won't update..

Quote:
Here's what we were told. "We build updates for all Windows Phone users, but must certify them with the carriers," Microsoft corporate VP Joe Belfiore said. "They'll happen on a regular cadence like they do on the PC. If a carrier wants to stop an update they can. But they will get it out on the next release."

"Updates are cumulative," he added. "If one [carrier] doesn't get their testing done in time, the next push date comes and it goes out then. Carriers could in fact block updates to sell you a phone. That can happen. But we don't expect that to happen. We are not going to push updates onto carrier networks that they have not tested. Microsoft is being very trusting of the carriers here. This is very different from the situation with Windows Mobile where every phone was very different. With Windows Phone, there is no impact on OEM code, network code, and so on. Yes, there are upgrades that will require a full test pass. But most will not."

Re: Nokia says NO to google ! And says YES to Windows phone

hmm i just read over at engadget that vzw won't carry nokia's and that their more interested in android iphone and blackberry .. i think it's interesting that nokia got into the wp7 game cause hopefully now it won't just be android products being introduced .. Verizon CTO: we don't 'need' the Nokia-Microsoft partnership; Android, iOS, and BlackBerry are the big three platforms -- Engadget
