its not like iPhone 4 doesn't have its own problem 
small screen, easy to break glass body, not to mention the (over exaggerated) reception problem,
and that's already the best phone coming from Apple.
as for OS, iPhone 3G is forced to be updated with the latest iOS, causing unnecessary lag, and I mean real lag,
I don't know if its Apple way of forcing people to upgrade or what =/
on the other hand, Android improved in terms of speed with the latest Android 2.3 Gingerbread,
even with the incomplete Gingerbread ROM that I'm using now on Desire, its already smooth as butter.
Unless I'm missing something, updates are optional since I skipped iOS 4.1(went from 4.0.2 to 4.2).small screen, easy to break glass body, not to mention the (over exaggerated) reception problem,

iPhone 3G is more than 2 years old and it still gets offical updates(partially of course due to hardware limitations) whereas e.g HTC Hero which is a year old doesn't get Froyo officially. Quite a few HTC/Samsung(which were suppose to be better Android phones)models which are less than a year old aren't getting offical updates. And they all come with custom skins which lags the phones or chews up battery. Great!
Then you'll have to root, install custom roms for the latest updates, setcpu, task killers, media players and etc. Like most people want to do that ay?
Android still lacks a gapless media player. Doubletwist & Winamp beta are still far from perfect.
Developers are still making iPhone apps first and if it's popular/profitable, then there'll be an Android version. By then, everyone would have moved on to newer apps already.
Fragmentation(manufacturers, Android versions), not addressed. Android Market problems, not addresed either!
No matter how you customized your Android phone or how cool your moving wallpaper is, iOS is always more polished/intergrated. Obviously, some people hate iOS.
Seriously, I'd jump on a Google-branded Android phone once it's matured/addresses it's major problems. Both Android & iOS aren't perfect, but Android's problems are more critical to me.
Till then, I'll enjoy my iPhone 4(my first Apple product).
Loyalty is overrated.
