[kantaki]

Hello,

before i go on u should know that i never had a smarthphone .

is it possible to update every phone to the newest android version ?

i read somthing about firmware and android version but i dont know the difference.

is android like windows which you can install on every pc that got the minimum spec ?

iam interested in the " Sony Ericsson Xperia mini " because it has a good price/performance ratio. but on delivery it has the 2.3.3 adroid version. and i dont wanna develop apps for an outdated system.

No. Updates are rolled out first to the manufacturer, then to the carrier for distribution. After about a year to year and a half, most carriers will stop updating the phones.

If your carrier does not release an updates, you can root your phone and install a custom rom, if there are any available roms for that device.

Every phone has an End of Life, thats technology. You will NEVER have the latest and greatest, as there will always be a newer phone around the corner.
