I am with you on this. Though I wish running into the arms of Apple wasn't the answer (was really hoping Ubuntu phone would be an option but that is seeming more and more unrealistic). The fact that the only way to get reasonably-paced system updates is to install 3rd party operating systems (e.g. Cyanogenmod) is extremely frustrating.

You don't need to run into the arms of Apple. Buy a Nexus phone. It's that simple

  If you frequently replace devices, maybe. If you're one of those poor suckers that bought Verizon's version of the Galaxy Nexus, you know that the promise of consistent updates for eighteen months is inadequate.

  How is this an option? My Nexus is stuck with 4.3.

      No, the Nexus 4 got 5.1. He likely has a Galaxy Nexus - a 4 year old phone.

        Not quite 4 years, but well... it still works fine. I wouldn't even expect a current android version, just patches for nasty security bugs like this one. What's so hard about that?
