As an avid android user. I don't mind keeping up with the vast expanse that is the android landscape.
But here are some questions every android user should ask.
What version of android does your phone have?
(Tip) It could be anything from 2.1-2.3 If your version is less than 2.1 are missing out on some of the most pivotal and useful changes to Android
What's your carriers track record when it comes to updating android phones?
(Tip) This has been a contentious issue for the last few weeks. Certain companies (mainly Samsung) are catching a lot of heat for not updating their phones in a timely manor. While others (motorola imo) seem to be turning around in this area. Usually, the more popular the phone the quicker it gets updated.
How long do you plan on keeping the phone?
(tip) Your phone is out of date when you buy it. Sorry, that's just the way technology works. If you plan to keep your phone for awhile make sure you're looking for that most recent android version (2.3 as of today) Luckily android is tending toward an OS that will rely less and less on carriers and manufactures. Its true driving force is the user.
