i find it beautiful.you do realize that some HTC phones have Windows installed, right?
what's the point of going to Android if it only gets 2-3 updates only.
taken from a site.
As we count down the weeks till Gingerbread is released the majority of our audience has a phone with Android 2.1 or older and some of those devices will never see a software update again.
will you be satisfied if your device will get only 2 updates?
That's not correct.
Some android devices have seen many updates, many far more than windows phones have seen in the year they've been on the market.
My particular device (Xperia Arc) has seen several updates since March. It started on Gingerbread 2.3.2, it now has gingerbread 2.3.4 and is due to get 2.3.5 soon. But the most important part is those are just the updates to the core system, manufacturers can add/fix other things in updates that are unique to specific devices or brands.
My device has seen updates to it's apps, new widgets/apps, new themes, new social integration, even a new lock screen. It's actually had that many significant changes it's made it exciting to get a new update. All that whilst remaining on the same android version, gingerbread 2.3.x.
I'm extremely satisfied with my device that's seen three or four updates (two being major) in the last six to seven months. Far more satisfied than when I was waiting as long for one major update for the N8!
Just like some Nokia devices some android devices do get stuck on older versions and don't see core (or feature) updates but it's the manufacturer and hardware that dictate this. You can't judge an entire OS based on that because it doesn't happen to every device. I suggest you do a little bit of personal research before trying to use it to prove a point.
As for Nokia's windows phones i'm open to trying one since the mango update appeared. We'll find out just how good (or bad) those are next week when they are shown at Nokia World. I look forward to personally trying one out on the 26th.
I'm not denying that the SGSII is a fantastic phone, but the ludicrous statement that no one uses the 12mpxl camera any more is plainly not true ? Many people like the FM transmitter, and USB OTG is also a very useful feature, and raving about one phone against another is simply fan boyish !! I use both a Symbian^3 phone and an Android phone and I think it's nice that people have choice, it is in no way constructive to '**bleep** off' other peoples handsets or opinions, I find benefits and drawbacks with both as no system is perfect.
However, getting back to the actual point of the thread, well not 'quite' but the intimation that things are quiet about the next generation of Nokia phones, if people actually read the tech press or do a little search on Twitter, there is quite a lot of discussion and rumour about Nokia releasing there first Windows OS phone, this will no doubt grow to a torrent approaching and during Nokia World, where I too hope to try one and really hopr to be impressed. Once a Nokia WP is released, no doubt a section will be started here on the forum for it, but as it doesn't actually, officially exist at the moment, that's 'quite' a good reason for the forum to be 'QUIET' anout it for the moment ?
Let's all wait and see, and hopefully, we'll all have something to be enthusiastic about in a week or so
