Re: AC didn't list Turbo 2 in their list
You guys didn't read that fully - it's not just android version updates, it's security updates as well. Nexus phones in particular get monthly security updates. Motorola has a very spotty recent history with this. Sad, but true.
I do care about how often my phone will get updated. It's too bad that you all had bad experiences with phone updates, but not so much for me. That's me, not you. Also, if updates are fast, then anything that is problematic will be patched faster anyway.
Android Central, frankly, gets to decide how much weight to put on their reviews. It's ok that you disagree with it. I'm just trying to explain why they don't highly rate a phone like the Turbo 2. For the hardware, it is expensive compared with other phones. It works only on a single carrier. It's unlikely to get speedy security and android version updates, and Verizon in particular has a really bad record updating their Droid brand phones, with the exception of a very brief period in late 2013 . Android Central has decided those are important things to consider.
BTW, Moto0685, I wish you'd use more than one period in your posts. Your sentences are hard to read.
And, lastly: Why do you care whether or not a web site rates your phone as a best one to buy if you love it and it is right for you?
