Welcome to IWETHEY!

New Thank you.
Its the carriers that have made a mess of it.

Its the same reason many of the Android phones that have 1.x will never get 2.x.
New The OEMs are part of the game, too.
I should have mentioned that. They are used to being at the beck and call of the carriers. Carriers not interested in upgrades? Well, so neither are the OEMs because that's work that isn't requested or paid for.

But sometimes the OEMs do end-runs, even though they "don't really want to". HTC got fed up with Telstra and Optus faffing around here in AU with Android phones that they went to a non-carrier to sell their phones. Pretty much as soon as they announced that, Optus and Telstra pulled their fingers out and got HTC signed up.

Wade.

Ok, on the internet awesomeness scale, this rates roughly a 153 on a scale of 1 to 10.
