How come iPhone users can all know exactly when iOS is going to be available for download?
Why can they download it on Day 1 instead of this carrier BS that Windows Phone users have to suffer with?
There are many reasons, but in a nutshell, it is because Apple has made legal arrangements with carriers. If carriers want to have the iPhone on offer, they must accept that Apple dictates the release date.
In contrast, MS isn't even the company selling WP devices to carriers, so they aren't even in the room for those negotiations.
