Yeah I just don't understand why Carriers (ATT, Verizon etc.) and Manufactures (Samsung, HTC) can't work out a standard deal for providing continuous software upgrades. I will single out Samsung though: they supposed to be the purveyor of "premium" android phones, but still seem to consider software as second class feature. If they had taken the initiative, maybe they would have set a standard for others to achieve? As of now, I get the feeling that Samsung users are just resigned to using whatever software Samsung provides...
