The engineer for the companies have to make the changes for kitkat then have to go through the carrier then can be release.

It a bit more harder to release an update than this, the article that I link explains the long, very long steps to release an update:

For an update that was announced last year, and a phone announced a few days ago, makes it sad that it runs the older OS in the launch. And no excuses, as some phones, like that Asus phone with LTE-A, has 4.4.

There many factories for why the updates aren't on the latest devices or not to old devices:

1. Bugs or errors
2. Not being approved by Google or carriers
3. Not compatible with the OEM skin
4. The SoC manufacturer hasn't released the drivers needed
5. The board disagree on updating devices

etc etc etc

*If I ever decide to* go back to Android, I plan on Nexus, Moto or GPE devices. I don't think I can live with any other type of Android phone.

That's why Moto killed their Motoblur Skin and Sony lightened theirs considerably. HTC has cut a lot of bloat out of Sense and Sammy and LG have made their skins bloated. A lighter skin means faster updates. We can thank Apple and their one hone system for getting consumers riled up about updates (slow process of)...

Nope

You are saying you wouldn't like that?!?!?

Yeah, Apple is always the fastest, because they MAKE their chip, OS, and phone.

I don't like the idea however someone else might.

I know many do. Like instead of having an Android phone and a WP, it can just be one. Wouldn't you like if your Z1 ran Windows Phone as well (optional install, of course)?

Tempted to buy the Moto G and run it on T-Mo...any feedback...I mean has anyone used it on T-Mo?

Re: WPC 30K Post Challenge - You Ready?!

I may be one of the few who are not in favor of a dual boot OS Phone. It would be a pain in the **** to keep switching. it maybe nice for now but once WP has all the apps there will really be no need for it.

Except Vonage Extensions, I do not miss my Nexus 4. The Lumia 810 works great for me.
