What does CR say about the difficulty in upgrading most Android phones? The user is dependant on the mfg modifying each Android release for each device. Then the carrier takes this and modifies it again. I've got a company issued 1 yr old Android device that I can't update because Samsung hasn't issued an update for it. Its stuck at 2.x.
What phone do you have? 2 point something is Gingerbread. That's old.
Some POS Samsung device. I only use it when I travel internationally as my company won't reimburse international use on my iPhone. So, they pay $55+/month/year so that I have a device for the 3 international trips I do a year. Not really worried about the device as we get new ones each year, so I've got a few months to go.
As for updates, I check regularly thru the phone and online thru Tmobile and Samsung. If it was my own device, I'd download 4.x that has been modded to run on my device. But, it points out how Apple did it right by controlling the experience.
