Stan, 10 Mar 2015You're full of it! You never owned an android phone, and just trolling here... Reasoning: 1... moreYour reasoning is ridiculous also. No one wants to buy new phone after every couple of months. And hey, if i use OS, why should _I_ make it work? But you are partly right. I came from Symbian, used Android for 2,5 years (Xperia S) and now i have enough. Windows, here i come.

Reasoning:
1... moreI bet your Samsung Galaxy S will not run LollyPop 5.1, and the Nokia Lumia 520 WILL run Windows 10.......
And that my friend makes sense for a Phone Update, since in WP EVERY SINGLE PHONE from Lumia 520 to Lumia 1520 will have Windows 10, and NOT EVERY Android phone will run newer updates...and the most nice part, runs smooth, no major hardware requirement and no 3GB RAM, 4K screen, Octacores CPU needed for run the OS as the way is supposed to....

Woosh, 10 Mar 2015Blame the operator... i've been running 5.0 on my note 3 for a good while now(its carrier free... more+1
I'm still waiting for a 5.0 as well on my Note 3. AT&T here in USA is to blame. TMobile has already pushed the upgrade for it's users.

Reasoning:
1) Fragmentation doesn't affect end-user, but rather affects manufacturers and app developers. It's better to have your phone not upgrade to a new version, than to have a case of iPhone 3Gs and iPhone 4, where a new version of OS completely cripples your product.
2) Hardware requirements were never crazy. Android ran without lag on every phone i owned, which were Galaxy S, Galaxy S2, HTC One M7, Galaxy S4, Galaxy Note 3. The key was always to keep your phone from running a bunch of apps in paralel. In contrast, every one of my friends iphones feels like a dog, for that very reason, and iPhone has just as high end hardware with crazy specs, as any top end Android phone.
So even if you owned an android phone, the problem was you, not the phone.

Relevant only for recent flagships, GPE, Nexus, Moto and some aosp. For the rest, just pray for a miracle.

Cenas, 10 Mar 2015If a Vanilla Android version of the Edge ever comes out I'm all over it!Why would you then buy a S6 Edge? Buy a normal S6!
You need touchwiz to get the full potential out of the edges of the S6 Edge.
With Vanilla Android you lose that functionality.
Your best option would be an AOSP custom ROM, that can take advantage of the Edge's left+right edges, but you will have to wait for a XDA Dev to take on that task (if anyone does).
