Android fragmentation is bad, but at least HTC is doing something about it.

I love the new XPERIA phones but I wonder why Sony's still on Gingerbread even for upcoming phones!

Go HTC!

Which is why the unlocked/unbranded handsets get the updates first. Then you have to look at the networks who add their own bloatware. For instance T-Mobile usually update HTC handsets at least 2 months after most other service providers.

Apple only make 1 phone brand and so updates are usually quicker to receive. But when you look at the hardware and software of Apple IOS and Android OS phones, in my personal opinion no iPhone is worth buying if you have a high-end Android phone. I waited 7 months for my HTC Sensation to receive ICS. I only got the update a day before upgrading to the ONE X. So I say if you take everything into consideration, everyone should be patient for updates.
