Apple, yes. Windows Phone, seriously? The same Windows Phone which resulted in bricked phones after the NoDo update.

Windows Phone has the same update model as Android. You need manufacturer and carrier compliance for an update to get to a phone. Plus there is no custom ROM alternative like with Android. http://www.winsupersite.com/article/windows-7/Windows-Phone-...

Despite the brain-dead implementation that's the cause of this privacy fiasco, HTC has the best track record among Android manufacturers when it comes to releasing updates. So I would hope they address this issue, and fast.

Windows Phone is an infant platform as compared to Apple and Android. But yet look at how fast they learnt after the NoDo delays. Have you gotten the Mango update yet? It rolled out to exsting phones already. And that is not just in US but worldwide. How many updates has Android pushed so soon to its existing phones and that too so widely?
