2. is subjective to the user, so don't include 'we'.  Have seen all the bloatware on droid devices?  I'll take one utility I cannot uninstall over many that are on droid devices.

3. AT&T released Denim to the 1520 on 2/26/2015 where as VZW did on 2/11/2015; 15 days earlier than AT&T.  TMobile started also on 2/26.

Enjoy AT&T

2. When I say we, I'm talking about the company I work for and yes I can speak for them because I manage all the devices.  I can't imagine anyone else wanting third party software on their device that they can't remove.  Bloatware is exactly one of the things I like about Windows Phones vs android.  Now we have to say Windows Phones have no bloatware...except for Verizon's.

3.  Why do you keep changing the subject to Denim?  I'm talking about WP 8.1 which was the huge update that brought features such as Cortana.

In addition, the only reason the icon had denim first was because everyone else released WP8.1 before Denim was even out!

Not changing the subject per-say, just have denim on the brain

You are correct that AT&T beat VZW to the punch on that.  It's a hit or miss with the carriers when it comes to releases.  Hopefully Microsoft can successfully by-pass the carriers with updates with Windows 10 Mobile.

They won't. No US carrier will. This is partly due to the fact when something goes wrong consumers tend to blame.the carriers. Apple doesn't even bypass the carriers. It only looks that way but if you do their ADC and understand carriers are there since day one testing everything and reading the patch notes you will find devices finish sooner than others. They just give incremental increases to them to match the numbers of their other devices not finished. I felt all manufacturers, and carriers should do this as it is more efficient.

Just saw a quick demo of Acer's Jade Primo, but didn't hear any mention of carriers.  I haven't looked into it yet.

This article sheds some light on what Microsoft wants to do, but it seems that the carriers will get access to the releases but will not have control if the updates get pushed or not; http://www.technobuffalo.com/2015/05/17/microsoft-to-bypass-carriers-issue-all-windows-10-mobile-upd...

I've also stated before that without the 950 series on VZW I will be looking for a new service provider, and unfortunately it looks like AT&T.
