One of the things Apple changed was how the software was perceived for phones.
Nokia (or the others) didn't update that much the firmwares for the old models. They just fixed the problems and added features to the new models. They were coming from simple phones that were not flashable in the beginning and they just wanted to sell more phones instead of supporting the old ones.
It's ironic how Apple is selling amazing amounts of phones with just few models and upgrading the software and features few times a year.

Nokia N800 got an update from OS2007 to OS2008, and Nokia 770, while officially supported from OS2005 to OS2006, has been updated via semi-official "Hacker Editions" all the way to OS2008. It was N900's Maemo 5 (Fremantle) where they finally stopped supporting earlier models.
