They have a quarter the RAM (128MB) of the current models. Even iOS 4 is somewhat stripped down on them. I'm sure Apple loves nudging people to buy a newer iPhone, but no informed observer should be surprised enough to be angry about lack of iOS 5 on these several generation old devices. I have and use a 3G myself. On the whole, it has been well supported since 2008.
