Note that security holes have been found in the dumber phones such as specially crafted SMS messages that cause grief.
In the case of a highly connected device that has a web browser (eg a "smartphone") there are guaranteed to be many security holes. That is the biggest problem with Android non-updates. It is bad enough being behind on functionality updates, but being vulnerable is even worse.
