Yes. Look at the Nexus One, that has had ~4 download and reboot OS upgrades in the 6 months I've had it.

Release engineering and stability is something old people talk about.

Which version of Android are you running? 2.1 as originally shipped or did you upgrade to 2.2?

2.2 now, I guess. I bought it in Feb. and hit the update button whenever it told me to (which, as I said, is like 4 times).

The apps. on it are even worse, it was a significant timesaver when the last OS update now allowed me to turn automatic updates on for them.
