I would like to ask a further question Ed, how much are these phones and how 
much is this Jelly Bean and Ice-cream software, not forgetting the Ginger Bread 
one too *smile*.

  Hi all,

   

  I've followed with interest the debate on Android, and I'd like to know 
whether my understanding is accurate.

   

  Firstly, I can buy a phone running Android, but my ability to get it talking 
may depend both on the version of the operating system and on whether the 
manufacturer of the hardware has decided to mess around with the OS or not such 
as to impair the accessibility.

   

  Secondly, my ability to take advantage of upgrades to Android will depend on 
whether there is an official release of the version for my phone or whether I 
want to risk installing an unofficial release on it that may or may not work.

   

  Thirdly, the Android phone that I buy as new may not be able to support the 
latest version of Android.

   

  Please correct me if I'm wrong in any of this.

   

  Ed
