It's significantly worse than it used to be, however. It's up to individual OEMs and carriers, instead of Microsoft, and many of them don't regularly release updates, if at all.

... unlike some other platforms, which support clean upgrades. I've never had to hard reset or reinstall my iPhone. In fact, when I got the 3G, I restored the 2G image and it worked seamlessly, and that was after about 4 upgrades on the 2G. I've since installed 3? 4? more updates on the 3G without problems.
