Imagine if this were an important update to patch serious security vulnerabilities and so many Privs still unpatched and exposed?

Oh, wait...

How secure is the Priv, really?

Unfortunately this is nothing new in the Android world. It's the price we pay for buying a phone through at&t, or any carrier for that matter. If security is of the upmost importance, buying unlocked is going to be your only solution.

Unfortunately nothing yet and Im really looking forward to this update. I have one of these phones that gets fairly hot and hoping this update addresses that.

This is an issue with AT&T not a BlackBerry issue, same thing when BB issue a BB10 update AT&T is always last to propagate.

If it was a security issue Blackberry would push the update to the phone directly.

Actually, according to BlackBerry there are monthly security updates that go through the carriers and there are hotfixes which also go through the carriers but they have the ability to push those directly if they want. The criteria and circumstances for pushing direct hotfixes were not made clear.

If I had to guess, i'd say they would probably do that during months where security is the only update. Since this update includes system updates and fixes as well, it makes sense for the carriers to test it first before pushing to their customers and possibly avoiding unseen issues.

And this all serves to illustrate the difference between Android and other mobile platforms. Why is carrier "testing" not needed for iOS or Windows 10 updates?

My guess would be the open source that android stems from means each manufacturer android phone is completely different than the next. Obviously ios isn't that way because only apple phones run ios, and Windows phone is closed source, which means even though multiple manufacturers have phones, they all MUST run the exact same thing (although I know att windows phones get updates after unlocked ones as well). There are pros and cons to all of the variety that comes with android, and this definitely is a con.

Downloading and updating now

Received mine this morning. So far so good seems the hub seems a little smoother, as does the phone in general.

Yep been running it for about an hour now! The Camera update is welcomed.

Yeah saw it pop up on my phone here at work around noon CST, have to wait until I get home to actually apply it (we don't have a wifi network here at the office). Really hoping this resolves the performance issues I've been having, I find I miss that physical keyboard when I switch to my Droid Turbo 2 or Xperia Z3 Compact!

PS. In my mind I take full credit for this being released today, I badgered the crap out of AT&TCares twitter account yesterday, asking how every other carrier was able to push this out last week but they couldn't

It's really so the carriers can test their own pre-installed bloatware and make sure the release doesn't break any of that crap you never use anyway. Well, and maybe some carrier specific features like HD voice, if we want to give them some benefit of the doubt

I got the update, but it didn't fix my "mms cannot be stored" issue that occurs every time I send a text

After installing and running it for a full day can say camera:better, hub:better. I am still getting a very hot phone at times and still have lag to the point of lock up for moments at a time.

Russel says this is the best phone of the year I would love to know what is different between his phone and mine that he doesn't note any of this.
