I'm somewhat of an Android n00b (after spending 6+ years with Rim, the last outage pushed me over the edge). I got a Bionic two weeks ago, and can't understood what took me so long to make the switch .....
In regards to software updates with BB's, once they were released by RIM/VZW, I could update the device either OTA, or through the desktop manager program. I never had any problem updating it the same day an update was published. From what I can tell, Android does somewhat of a staged approach in pushing updates out, and there isn't any way to speed the process up.
Any indication how long this takes to push the updates once they 'officially' announce the update? I am running a stock rom, and do not have any intention or rooting the device. Can I side load the update from my desktop in the same way RIM allowed?
