[nabs-l] android phones and upgrades.

[David Andrews]

Whether or not you can update Android depends on 
the provider of the phone and carrier.  So, with 
the low cost carrier, the answer is probably no.

You could look at T-Mobile, they are starting to 
offer the iPhone with no contract, you can pay by 
month, and they have unlimited plans.
