Is this open source? I'd be interested in seeing the implementation.

Other information to surface could include whether the device is on the latest OS, whether it gets timely updates, and whether it's available unlocked or only from carriers.

Do you have Sony devices in there?

It's not Open Source yet, the codebase is still too messy. Good old PHP/SQL/Jquery Stack and parsing is done in Python.

Thanks for the tips, I'm working on career selection features! Also the OS and updates are mentioned in the descriptions. You can even select brands with good Update support in the "More Features" menu.

There are a few Sony devices, you can select them in >more features>Brands>Sony. I'm still adding more devices !

Indeed, what is the latest version of the OS available for that platform, on a carrier-by-carrier basis.

The same device on Verizon might have a very different "latest" version of the OS as compared to another carrier.
