I have two Android phones, LG Shine Plus (2.1 & no update), Samsung Fascinate Telus version (just got 2.3.3 but its not the debugged version, 2.3.4 is) after nearly a year. The ability to get updates is virtually nil if at all and if one appears is already behind in that series not to mention 3.x is available. Bugs and apps that don't get fixed by the carrier such a voice dialing cannot be used on the Fascinate with any version of Android they released.
I have but to look at the update link on my carrier and only one phone comes is at 2.3.4 while the others are stuck with ancient bug and security ridden version.
The experience is not smooth dispite the memory and storage built in. I doubt I will get another Android phone for this reason, no patches or updates even 6 months to a year later. Sooner or later the community will shift to where you can get updates. IOS for sure, & WinM7 is committing to it in one article.
