I definitely know how you feel, having been abused by VZW on phone updates a few times. Did you see the news from Google I/O yesterday, though? There is supposed to be an agreement to keep Android devices updated for 18 months, as long as the hardware is capable (so don't look for Honeycomb on your Android phone). I don't know if this will work in real life, but it is a start.
My next phone will not be a Samsung nor will it be on Verizon.
I don't want to spend a lot of time piddling with/customizing/rooting/etc my phone, I just want to use it. I still don't have 2.2 because my phone won't take the OTA and VZW support always just immediately jumps to a hard reset which I refuse to do. IMO, hard resets are not acceptable. I'm not going to re-setup my phone everytime there's a problem (I already had to once due to some bogus g-mail problem and I was cursing the whole time).
