Any word on a fix to the "accidentally hang up with your cheek while talking on the phone" issue?

The release notes themselves don't have any mention of a fix to the proximity sensor, but I see conflicting reports of "its fixed!" and "its still there" on blogs all around. I guess it will be at least a day before people start to notice any difference.

Any word on how this functions on older 3g and 3gs hardware? I've been waiting to upgrade my 3g due to reports of severe slowness on 3g+ios4.

Reports show that it is no faster, unfortunately. If you haven't seen it, here's a parody of the original iPhone commercial showing a 3G on iOS4: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pdk2cJpSXLg

I upgraded my 3g to iOS4 and its barely functioning, constant hangups - do not recommend upgrade. Very highly recommend the iPhone 4 though.

There's also an emerging BlueTooth issue with the iPhone 4 - suprised this hasn't been picked up more.

I know from my own personal experience (I've owned every iPhone, this is the only one wiht issues) and the growing complaints:

3GS will have no more problems than previously (== no problems), 3G will be no better: iOS4 is apparently significantly more memory hungry than iPhoneOS 3, which leaves the RAM-constrained 3G in a bad position. Many applications (including built-in) have come to be quite slow and laggy, and RAM-intensive applications (e.g. big games) have generally taken a turn for the worse.

4.0.1 doesn't look like it has much improved on the situation (apart from the psychological trick of "new release = faster", and the fact that freshly booted phones are less memory-constrained since Mail and Saf's background processes aren't running yet) so far.

Unless you need iOS4 features (or iOS4-only apps), i would recommend staying on 3.1

Same situation on my 3g. Apple probably shouldn't have even pushed this update to 3g models, to be honest.
