I agree, criticism, ideally in a foward-moving/constructive manner is always good (which could easily include huge community threads that go viral or similar, IMHO).
My comments were solely about the cadence of the update release.
Yeah, I think it's a great phone, by most aspects, honestly I wouldn't ask for much more, other than perhaps the zoom lens from the 22/23U, perhaps there's a bit of envy there...
Not saying it's a perfect phone, with no room for improvement, some of it from s/w.
Truly though, I don't get the angst of a few days late security patch, be it a new/fixed feature drop as well, or just the compromise fixes. Maybe it's because I worked on the other side of the OS fence for quite a few years, I've felt the pain, trust me :-X
except it's not a few days. The other month was delayed a month for many. Previous updates have been way more than a few days late.
The big thing to me is it is a security patch. A security patch means there is an exploit out there now, so every day I don't have that patch, my phone is vulnerable. So delaying it a week, two weeks, or a month, is just bad. Second it just reflects poorly on a company to promise your phone will be kept updated with a security every first monday of the month, and then consistently be late and not communicate about it well. The timely security patches are a feature of the phone - it's a selling point. So it's just misleading.
