Are Cheap Phones The Solution To Android Updates?

No it doesn't. Marshmallow isn't just a bug-fix release. And even if it was, it doesn't mean their phone isn't working perfectly fine.

and who's making phones for CM OS? Basically just Chinese phones. Yes, Microsoft also has a partnership with CM, and they're also a huge company, as I stated earlier. It looks like they're doing most of the heavy lifting for filling in for google.

I've seen that AT&T is considering a Cyanogen OS phone. We'll see how it works out.

interesting but the carriers are so slow updating andriod phones now who would want a Cyanogen phone? I don't see this idea going far for ATT.
