yes they will drop the price by 100-150 depending where you are as well as carries will drop their price for contract renewal handset costs for older models.

is it a bad strategy to wait for the 5 to get the 4 for cheaper? Doesn't apple usually price drop the older version when the new one comes out?

I have a slightly different look at the wait. I have the droid x and trying to decide to get a iphone4 or wait for 5. Is it really going to be sept time line?

Bought the iphone 4 a few weeks ago, and sold my droid x online the other day and shipping out tomorrow. I have been really happy with the iphone 4 (I came from a iphone 3g before the droid x) and I am glad I made the jump now. You can always sell the 4 for the 5 if you really have to have it when it comes out (whenever that is). I had been debating on the iphone 4 for a few months and finally couldn't take it anymore and just took the plunge. DO IT!!! :)

I talked to best buy today and they seem like the best place to buy. If I get the Iphone 4 now they will buy the phone back if another model comes out in 6months. So as long as it makes it out by October I will be able to upgrade for 300 bucks with the buy back vs paying full price. I also was shocked by the insurance. 13 for verizon 15 for BB insurance. I might just carry no insurance and put that money in the bank for an emergency.:D
