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.
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.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.
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. Ed
