That the trouble with Android what is ever on your phone when u buy it, is what will be on your phone for ever! If you want upgrades at same time as everyone else then stick to iphone and itunes and you will never be cast adrift!
Strange how I have both ICS (Beta only as a nandroid backup...I restore it when I fancy an ice ream sandwich) and 2.3.6 and Sense 3.5 ported from a Sensation XL on my Desire S whereas when I bought it had 2.3.3 and Sense 2.1. |

Next you'll me telling us that everything Apple 'Just Works' .... try telling that to the posters of numerous iPhone problem threads here ....
). If every Apple product just worked there wouldn't be a "Genius" Bar at every Apple Store or problem threads on sites like MacRumors.

If you have the 3G, rather than the 3GS, then iOS 5 isn't designed to run on that phone. The last OS Apple released for the 3G was 4.2.1. If you're trying to load it on a 3GS and it's wiping stuff, it's possible that you're unplugging from iTunes a bit too quickly. There's a pause in the process which isn't obvious and happens before all your apps music etc is copied back to the phone. It's caught a bunch of people out.

And that is exactly the point. Even the very first android phone, the G1, has had ICS ported to it:

Well of course there is if you want to customise your phone yourself, but for ordinary people with Android phones, who aren't technical, that's not an option.
The iPhone is a good phone, but non customisable unless you jailbreak, therefore, leaving the customisation to those who have the technical ability and desire. Why people can't decide on the phone they want and be happy is a mystery.

Not really true....An android phone is still extremely customisable out of the box. I doubt you will find two android phones that look the same. There are many launchers to choose from and other customisation apps.
