pre no do update

[Pete C]

Why would AT&T withhold the NoDo app when Verizon and Sprint are releasing phones with these features already installed? Seems from a competition standpoint they would want these features enabled since they have no new hardware.

Now, for Mango I could see a carrier holding it back if they have new hardware coming out which will "feature" these free features as a selling point. Any way you cut it it is insane that MS is allowing them to block anything. This may hinder WP7 itself from making any headway if users are fed up with the old versions and switch to a different OS because of it.

Or, is the reason for blocking different...like someone said they don't feel like supporting the users having issues?

I think you summed it up. Ask any Android user who is seeing phones come out with an OS 1 or even 2 versions ahead of their 5 month old phone, as is the case with my Samsung Fascinate on VZW. Now the same thing for WP7? So someone with the new HTC on VZW may have a phone with an update newer then mine. Or AT&T may decide to update their phones, and T-Mobile not.

I may as well go back to my iPhone. At least everyone got the update at the same time.

Capitalism is atrocious. Especially with something that's starting to become a necessity.

what makes WP7 different is that you will eventually get the update. With Android you may never get their updates.

For what it's worth, as a Samsung Omnia 7 user who's phone never managed to update and then the update was pulled to stop it bricking phones, you're really not missing anything
