This contributed to me "switching" to an Android phone, rather than upgrading to an iPhone 4. I had an iPhone 3G (not the GS), that recently came out of contract (purchased 9/2009). The phone was working fine for me, I had no reason to upgrade, other than the fact that the phone was much slower since the introduction of iOS 4. Apple's latest iOS release no longer supports the 3G; abandoning hardware this close to release doesn't really sit well with me, especially since an AppleCare support contract extends out to three years.

Then the GPS tracking fiasco came about, since I couldn't figure out if the 3G was affected, and Apple refused to release a new release for 3G customers, even though this is a security-related issue, I became fed-up and got an HTC Inspire 4G (aka Desire HD) instead, and don't miss the iPhone at all. Maybe in two or three more years I'll come back to iPhone. Maybe not.
