The second reason I won't get a subsidized Android phone is the lengthy time it takes to upgrade the OS after it's released. That problem also persists with non-Nexus unlocked Android phones.

Samsung's refusal to upgrade the Galaxy Players from Gingerbread to Jellybean is the reason I'll never get another one of their net devices. I wonder how many they would have sold if they told the consumers up front that these devices would never see an upgrade past Gingerbread?

Timely OS upgrades from Apple and Nexus is the biggest advantage they have over the competition.
