There is no SDK on the phone.

SDK is what you use to develop applications - on a desktop computer.

Phones (and other devices) have "firmware", which is the Android platform, of a particular version, that is made to work on that particular phone model, sometimes with new functionality (HTC Sense, MOTOBLUR, Samsung TouchWiz, etc.)

Some manufacturers release firmware updates for their Android phones, some even do it more or less on time. Some don't.

Some examples:

- HTC was late with their 1.6 to 2.1 update for the Hero by about six months. - Samsung released 2.1 to 2.2 update for the Galaxy S "only" about two months late. - Motorola is already some 3 months late with a 2.2 update for the Milestone, still unreleased.

Since you mentioned the Samsung Galaxy in your original message, I already provided information specifically about that phone.

means u mean to say k user can update there SDK .
i was thinking that once any one purchases a cell phone with a
particular SDK , that will remain unchaged and we cant update the
same. means i was thinking that if a person bought a android 2.1
eclairs device then he will be using the same device without any
updates for lifetime with the same sdk.
please clarify . i know i am wrong, but need some more info about it.

Thanks

If by Galaxy 3 you mean Galaxy S - Samsung started rolling out updates
to 2.2 recently.

The exact dates are country-specific - I received mine in Russia on
November 24 - but it's ongoing.
