The 3GS is officially behind us, now those who resisted the 3GS will be rewarded with a revolutionary phone next year, and those who have the 3GS, well, let's just hope that you guys complain as much as we 3G owners did to convince AT&T to partly subsidize the new iPhone 4G.
1.) 5 MP Camera or even 1080p picture quality (pics will be 1080p but the the screen won't). Videos will also be great quality, maybe 480p (60 frames a second instead of the 3GS's 30). Light flash as well.
2.)32 GB($199), 64 GB ($299) models, more preferably above 50 GB at least
3.)RAM goes up to 512 MB, up from iPhone 3GS's 256. Ridiculously fast!
4.)Ability to handle 3G at immense speeds (7.2 Mbps and above) and capability to use 4G (Verizon is developing 4G, this will be perfect reason for Apple to use Verizon next year with an "iPhone 4G"
5.)Video Conferencing with a front faced camera.
6.)Wireless-N capability
7.)Battery will be 50-100% better than iPhone 3GS
8.)Phone will be much slimmer and the screen will be .5-1 inch bigger, THINK THIS:

9.)Slider keyboard option, possibly to use it for video games
10.)OLED screen
11.)Flash built into software
12.)We already know that iPhone is more powerful than the PSP and DS combined, so maybe Apple can work on making the graphics closer to the PS2.
13.) Ability to use the iPhone has a portable hard drive with a small USB input on the actual iPhone (slide out). This might be fixed in a firmware, but if we had 32 GB sitting in our pockets, it would be tremendously useful in so many circumstances.
14.)The phone will be able to pick up all sorts of radio waves/signals from the air and convert them into energy to recharge the phone. Nokia just developed it, it can keep the phone on long enough to keep a phone call on or just slowly recharge the phone. Or just the ability to recharge from you moving your body (kinetic energy)
15.)Loopt-like feature where you can see other iPhones as a green or orange dot on your GPS map if you're trying to find someone you're talking to.
16.) The ability to do VOICE TO TEXT with text messages! Seriously, I know text messaging is the new cool thing (I use it a lot) but it's ridiculous how long you have to spend typing them up (compared to a computer keyboard). This will be a welcome feature to ALL PHONES.
17.)It'd be cool to have the phone in landscape all the time if you wanted it (lock it that way) and control how many applications you can have per page.
18.)FM radio
Well this is definitely quite the wishlist, and we can only hope we would get at least half of them, but next year will definitely bring something revolutionary. If you're still debating to wait or pass up the opportunity to upgrade in December, I'd say wait, you never know what might come up, and AT&T might not take away the upgrade pricing like they did this time. So you guys have any other features you would like in the iPhone 4G?
