Hi all,

I’ve followed with interest the debate on Android, and I’d like to know
whether my understanding is accurate.

Firstly, I can buy a phone running Android, but my ability to get it
talking may depend both on the version of the operating system and on
whether the manufacturer of the hardware has decided to mess around with
the OS or not such as to impair the accessibility.

correct.

Secondly, my ability to take advantage of upgrades to Android will
depend on whether there is an official release of the version for my
phone or whether I want to risk installing an unofficial release on it
that may or may not work.

No reason why it should not work. There are different roms and some reading on the net will tell you which are the better ones.
Thirdly, the Android phone that I buy as new may not be able to support
the latest version of Android.

Unlikely unless you are at the very cheap end of the market.


Please correct me if I’m wrong in any of this.
