I have started alerting all my networks that Rogers sold an obsolete phone into the market. In fact it was obsolete before it hit the shelves. Given the price of the device and the incentives to hook one into a 3 yr plan, this practice is unconscionable. The only way to make amends would be to support the phone as your post suggests with timely updates. It is after all a data device. Lord knows my laptop running MS XP sure gets enough updates thrown it's way.

I don't know what impact it will have but it appears that several of my contacts considering a Rogers smartphone have held off.
