Re: In all honesty
The cost of the software should (and almost certainly is) included in the price of the phone. It's part of the R&D costs inherent in almost everything you buy (even a milk carton needed to be designed by someone who was paid to do so). It costs money to develop the software for your car, washing machine & microwave - but you do not pay separately for that, nor is it leased to you for a monthly fee. If you want to upgrade, it's up to you whether to pay whatever the cost of an upgrade is - although if the upgrade is necessary in order to fix a significant bug, then SOGA will dictate whether the supplier must do it free of charge.
