It is those carriers that understandably are very conservative that take longer to upgrade. To the manf the carriers are end users as well. The solution is simple though, don't look at carriers for your phone. I don't care what provider offers what phone, only what phones will work on a carriers(s). Buy unlocked phones that you've researched to be functional and capable of running the OS of your choice. Who cares that (blah carrier) only sells a locked down 1.5 Magic, I know the phone can run 1.6 and beyond. So I bought my own Magic and run whatever I want.
