I have to agree here. Sammy has had some issues, just like everyone else, however, they are also a victim of their own success as well.
If Sammy only sold a handful of phones now and then with marginal success and they had software issues, it would not make headlines like it does now. Only because they are, and I HATE to say it this way, the "Apple" of Android, they get a LOT of press for every little thing.
Killing the update services KNOWING that they HALTED the update rollout in the ONE COUNTRY it was released in (which happens to be their HQ country) while they fix it is, well, a LOT overly paranoid to me.
At this point, at least in my book, Sammy is doing the RIGHT THING here. This should NOT be looked at as Negative Press (as much as the Media wants to spin it this way), but a success story of a company DOING THE RIGHT THING.
That's just me though.
