Depends on how bad you want the latest and greatest and the amount you are willing to pay. If money is no object then go ahead and pick one up but then when the new one comes out just be ready to pay a large price. Or simply wait.

first rule to moving from an iphone.

forget everything you know. the two devices have very different ways of doing things and neither is right or wrong.

I would a week and a half, see what's announced and when it's coming out and then decide for yourself. the new features may not be worth it and announcement day will likely be when the current model begins to get discounted

I say see what Apple announces next Wednesday ( Jan 27 ) and if that effects the release date of a new iPhone.

If you want to wait till June when the the new iPhone hardware is announced then do that. But even if you wait there is no guarantee that will be the only one that comes out in 10. When the 3G came out I think it was only about 3months or so until the 3GS hit. My advice would be to wait till the 27th and see what apples says but then again I just got the 3GS in Dec and I am not worried about it at all.

The 3GS came out 1 year ( almost to the day ) after the 3G. The 3G came a year after the 2G. Not sure where you got the 3 months number.

I still stand by my wait until the 27th to see what Apple has in store for users and then make your decision. I have the 3GS and got it back in July and I know I'll be waiting until June of 2011 to get a new iPhone.

I got my first iPhone yesterday. I've been keeping up on whats going on and I figured, how much more can Apple really cram into the iPhone as far as hardware is concerned? Maybe an HD screen when IMO whats in the 3GS is more than sufficient. It's already fast enough. Personally I see the new iPhone with a higher res screen, 64 GB storage and maybe a bit faster. I didn't think that was worth waiting for when I had a Sprint BB Curve 8330. That think was beginning to feel like a dumbphone....
