specifically, which manufacturer has the best track record for providing Android OS updates for its phones/devices?
i'm planning to buy a phone real soon; probably something with at least a 3.7" screen, and a 1ghz processor...i won't be using it as my "main" phone -- i just wanna get a foot in the door with all things Android. i was more or less decided on a phone, but then i read somewhere that the manufacturer(rhymes with Smamsung ) isnt; very religious in providing updates for existing phones...i don't wanna spend that much money only to have it become obsolete a year later...when Froyo was barely making it to handsets, people were already talking about Gingerbread...then Honeycomb.
i think most Android apps won't be that sensitive about the OS version, but i'd really hate to miss out on the goodies that a new OS version brings. So...any suggestions? HTC perhaps? i'd like to think they have an inside track with such things. tia
