I used to get really irritated with whatever phone manufacturer I bought from was holding out on updates. However, we now have enough data to have a good idea of the tendencies with each carrier/manufacturer. For example, if you choose Verizon, you know you're going to be waiting a while. My next phone will not be with Verizon. I definitely understand that some people only get decent service from one or two carriers in their area (and don't have as much as a choice), so this is probably more aimed at those who have a few options to choose from: I really do think it's time to vote with our feet. If updates are a priority for you, pick a manufacturer and carrier that have a decent update record (if you have the choice). If you don't have a choice, complain publicly and loudly about your carrier's update practices, and maybe someone will hear one of us.
