I would say this as well. Possibly even wait for the 7 as the rumors say it's gonna be 6G which is better than both 4G and 3G (Apple plans to skip right over 5G). Don't waste your money now when eventually some day a new version will be out.

Well, I'm more than content with my iPhone 4. It does everything I need it to do. I'm not sure what features will be added to the iPhone 5. The only thing I can think that will make it more desirable for me, is more customization.

I made the jump to the iP4 from BB. I thought about it and decided to make the move now and not wait any longer. I figured I could always sell my iP4 a lot easier than I could anything else if I changed my mind. Even if the iP5 comes out the iP4 will still have value.

IMO get the 4 now. If you really want the iPhone there is no sense in waiting. I don't see them making a huge difference from the 4 to 5, but they will wait till next year, 2012, when all of us Verizon users are eligible for upgrade.

I too was going to wait for the I5 but I think I am going to drop money for the 4 in a few weeks. I am on my 3GS and upgrade to the 4 would be just nice for me until the 5 comes out.

I can't tell you what to do, but I didn't wait. I have had my iPhone 4 for 1 week now and I am extremely happy with it. I came over from a Droid and I am not looking back. When I bought last week the rumor was that iPhone 5 would be out in the fall. Now they are saying beginning of 2012 so I am even more happy with my decision. What you do is ultimately up to you though...

When is the I5 coming? Are you sure? I would go with the known and get the 4.

When you're ready to switch, switch. Otherwise, you'll be waiting forever because new phones are always coming out. My wife and I switched from our BB Storm2s and are like the other person above who said they're never looking back. The iPhone4 is that good!
