The carrier's involvement with the firmware which expires at the end of the branding and maybe a little bit of configuration. And that's it.
Useful information, for example, instead of "what air carriers have blocked February update" or "what the carriers to prevent the NoDo, when it finally arrives," we get vague comments about "working closely" with the air carriers.
Even though we know already that some people actually work with their clients, carriers, utter contempt and prevent updates, Microsoft actually admitting skirts around — a great example of PR actually related to the public by way of derogation from the provisions of the standing. Joe Belfiore has already acknowledged that they could, so no need to dance is not really the issue.
Of course, this is information that can be considered "sensitive", but putting the needs of users in relation to the needs of carriers to serve only to alienate users and Microsoft, which looks bad.
And this post does, Microsoft really explained why they are taking so long to deliver. It refers to the OEM's participation and the participation of the air carrier. But none of them really makes sense.
OEM-the problem is certainly more sticky. The fact that the OEM-specific update, you may be out of communication and means of testing between vendors and Microsoft. This is not the complexity of the telephony environment is, and at the same time, it is good in the long term, it is somewhat understandable that in the short term problems.
The blog post, however, does not paint the very image of the process. Oversimplification, but it just sounds like it is, in principle, to make it Microsoft, that OEMs have done their work properly. Such as the Samsung from issue, it appears that the trust is not deserved.
In the earlier post of February, the company claimed that the update is pleased to announce the update worked, 90% of users still 5% diagnosable conditions trivially (the lack of free space) that the software does not actually bother to warn me about the absence of, try to install, and then fail, preferring instead.
If the Windows Service Pack and only 90% of users worked, 5% of the errors and another useless perplexed by 5% in the case of some of the mystery malady that may leave their computers on the useless, the failure should be dismal.
In the PC space is much different than a cellphone in the ecosystem, and yet Microsoft makes will be corrected, that the normal and very successful experience. There is no such thing as a sound, but is not far away. That it can do so in each of nine different phone models use Damn near the same device is amazing.
What would be good to see is the receive window that breaks down the process. Instead, we are told that the laboratory tests that simulate the "— but never quite delivering software on real phones — thousands of experience. Thus, in principle, to shrug the shoulders, and it is probably going to occur again.
For the blog post also clearly, the participation of the carrier was part of the testing of any of the phone. This is probably true, but it is missing the whole point of ways.
Above all, need to get the way operators really here. They are not only testing may not be the all important or significant. How do we know this? Because they provide all of the phone's stick on the network (at least in the GSM networks in the world).
Even in the United States and its frequency is based on the analysis of the obstacles to the T-Mobile and AT&T sells a SIM card is not a phone, slap the old device and use you see fit, and This is repeated around the world. Some operators (MVNOs, that are mostly dependent on the other network devices) does not provide any hand phones at all; SIM cards only, and that the content of the part of your handset.
If the air carriers shall be able to do this safely — and overwhelmingly, they recognise that they can — they also allow the firmware updates via the impinging. If it is safe to use the unbranded firmware update for the Wii on the network, it is safe to use the firmware update for the air carrier, but otherwise identical to the branded handset. Indications the untested hardware and software does not screw things up too much, otherwise they only allow their networks with mobile phones carefully.
The carrier's involvement with the firmware which expires at the end of the branding and perhaps a little composition: custom startup screen, Custom highlight color, some of the other options, which air carriers are allowed to touch, and with a limited set of pre-installed applications. And that's it.
There need not be extensive testing (they do not test all of your phone in any case, the networks), and certainly should never have reason to allow carriers to block or delay updates. It should take a few minutes to properly mark the products the operator provides the hardware, the software and give it a thumb.
And if they really cannot do? Microsoft (technically, unless on a contractual basis) can put a little out of their own branded product firmwares. That you lose with a limited set of pre-installed applications, but so what? They are all downloadable Marketplace from the event! If the air carriers continue to ruin the experience, which is received as an alternative.
In the case of the second paragraph of which provides: we have already seen the updated, do better and that is Microsoft needs to live up to the standard. We have already seen on the iPhone. Apple is already in the dozens of carriers (irrespective of the extent that it is necessary to make — Apple prohibits the brand carrier), and yet once in the same frame, starting from the beginning of Windows phone 7, Apple has managed to push the four publications include fixes and/or new features (plus a fifth Release for CDMA support).
When the number of templates in the Windows phone 7, Microsoft could create more work, they should not make a big difference between carriers, because most airlines offer only one or two templates, as with the iPhone.
