<h2>[WHAT]</h2>
<ol>
<li>] Karl's thoughts on how BBRY is getting derailed by US carriers who are holding back on releasing updated versions of their OS software.</li>
</ol>
<h2>[WHY]</h2>
<ol>
<li>] speak specifically of Verizon, although AT&amp;T is responsible for this as well.BlackBerry restricts software updates to carrier-endorsed things. &nbsp;Contrast this with Apple, which refuses to allow carriers to "approve" their IOS updates (and thus everyone gets them at once) or Samsung, which has the carriers push OTA updates <strong><em>but makes manual updates available over KIES on a PC</em></strong>&nbsp;if you want them.</li>
<li>] But Verizon, in particular, <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">still</span></strong>&nbsp;(as of this morning) shows 10.0.9.xx firmware as "official" for the BlackBerry Z10. &nbsp;This is an outrage -- 10.0.9 was outdated <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">on the day of the launch</span></strong>, with T-Mobile and AT&amp;T both shipping 10.0.10. &nbsp;AT&amp;T for its part has refused to release a 10.1.x firmware version -- of the major US carriers <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">only T-Mobile</span></strong>&nbsp;has done so.</li>
<li>] All they(BBRY) have to do is change BlackBerry Link <strong>so as to permit one to choose a firmware load of either the official carrier version <em>or the latest BlackBerry-approved version</em>&nbsp;at the user's option. </strong>That's it. A 30 second change they could push <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">right now</span></strong>.</li>
