Thats why I love the Windows Phone and Apple model rather than android. Windows Phone has had more and frequent updates and they are delivered more consistently across carriers. Same is true for Apple.
Windows Phone has the same update model as Android. You need manufacturer and carrier compliance for an update to get to a phone. Plus there is no custom ROM alternative like with Android. http://www.winsupersite.com/article/windows-7/Windows-Phone-...
Despite the brain-dead implementation that's the cause of this privacy fiasco, HTC has the best track record among Android manufacturers when it comes to releasing updates. So I would hope they address this issue, and fast.
