"Why can't Samsung release one penta-band UMTS version of each GSM phone?" Presumably lack of demand. "slowing down 3rd party ROM development particularly for the U.S. versions" Not Samsung's problem. "Carrier ROMs are bloated, non-standard android environments, and lag behind the latest version." And there's a distinct class of devices that run stock Android. And in all likelihood this class will continue to be outsold by an order of magnitude by this device and its non-standard carrier ROM that lags behind the latest version. "That situation is unacceptable" To a tiny minority.
