That’s why I always buy SIM-free phones.

That’s just people trying to get ICS on their phone as quickly as possible. For popular devices like the SGS2, there are now plenty of builds comparable with Samsung’s in stability.

But I’ve also had to wait over 6 months for a carrier to verify an update – a week’s nothing in comparison.

For example take the Linux kernel. Only the dictator Linus or other kernel maintainers decide what get merged. Or for that matter any Linux distro.

Aosp is released to public right when the binaries are. So it is open source.

It was Google’s idea to develop an open-source OS, but now it seems to me that they’re getting a little selfish because they want to increase Nexus sales.
