So I currently have an iPhone. I'd like to check out android phones again. I was really after the galaxy S3. However that's way to big. My next option was Droid Razr Max. I really do like that phone. However checking it out. Android OS gingerbread 2.3.5...what is up with that?!?! When I left android I had a Droid X that barely got gingerbread. What is the deal with these companies being behind the times? It cannot be that hard. I think android needs to be pressuring phone companies.

If you want a phone that keeps you on a recent version of Android, then you have to go for an unlocked and carrier-free Nexus handset. It's the only way you will always get an update and quickly.

Yeah you'll find in most cases that unless it's a flagship phone you're unlikely to see any major improvements. Unfortunately companies would much rather make more money off new customers with new phones than support and update existing devices. Sucks really, but unfortunately that's the bad side of Android and always will be. There are many good sides to Android don't get me wrong ;).

Nothing stopping you from making a visit to XDA though ;)

      Really? Despite the memory price rises, nothing can kill it? I thought something would.

    • Poll: Grand Theft Auto VI price predictions, cast your vote

      Poll: Grand Theft Auto VI price predictions, cast your vote by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe After years of waiting, Rockstar will be solidifying the launch date of Grand Theft Auto VI with the launch of pre-orders next week. While the studio has confirmed a date for this occasion, it is yet to attach a price to the highly anticipated game. So let's see what our readers think it will cost at launch. The Grand Theft Auto VI pre-orders will kick off on June 25 for digital and physical editions. Unless some last-minute changes happen, the release date will be November 19, 2026, across Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5. Unfortunately, there's still no information about a PC version from the developer or the publisher Take-Two. Now the question becomes, how much will Grand Theft Auto VI cost at launch? The game is predicted by some analysts to be the biggest launch of an entertainment product ever. With the amount of hype that has been built behind it and with ballooning development costs, Take-Two may price this Grand Theft Auto entry differently from other AAA titles. The current price of a AAA game is $69.99. That norm almost rose to $79.99 before calming down. But with such a massive release, Grand Theft Auto VI may be the game that pushes the boundary again. It's also possible that Take-Two keeps the price relatively low to increase the number of players that jump in early and keep them hooked on Grand Theft Auto Online to spend on microtransactions for years to come. Keep in mind that the below poll is asking for a prediction of the standard edition price, not a deluxe or any other special edition that Take-Two will introduce for additional benefits. Also, there is the chance of the company splitting up the campaign and online portions. If you think that will happen, put your vote on what you think will be the total cost of the two. Poll Poll: How much will Grand Theft Auto VI cost? $59.99 $69.99 $79.99 $89.99 $100 or more Submit Vote If you have a very specific prediction in mind, sound off in the comments below.
