1) the time between the RIM release and a carrier release is the time required to verify there is no regression, and that the enhancements are working as designed. It seems that Verizon has a higher level of Quality of Service than the UAE carrier. In other words : they want to give less bugs to their subscribers.

2) the OS has to be downloaded on a computer. Anyway, you need a PC to install that OS on your device.

to Ed : usually, US carriers are the last to publish OSes… Europeans & Canadians are the first, followed by Arabic countries & Latin America.
nd remember that if a small carrier does an official release, it only means that it is bugfree according to their quality of service. Which may be lower than the QoS of your US carrier.

They’re going pretty cheaply now since they’re “last year’s model”.

I’m pretty happy with mine. It doesn’t have a fancy touch screen but it’s useful, stable and does just about everything I need from a smart phone.

The UAE? Really?! This is ridiculous, I am close to giving up and biting the bullet pay the penalty and switch phones or carrier or both.
