How are WP8 on carrier-locked Nokia Phones?

[HerrKaputt]

I'm considering the purchase of a Nokia Lumia 620 and I'm torn between saving 20 or so euros by buying it instantly from a carrier or spending extra and waiting a few days by buying it unlocked from Amazon.

How is Windows Phone 8 regarding updates on carrier-locked phones? Do carrier-locked phones get system updates at the same time as other phones?

Hey Herr, yeah everyone tends to get updates around the same time. The carriers all test and release roughly at the same time as Nokia release their firmware for everyone so it's not a tonne of difference. Plus you can always decide to unlock your phone at a later date.
