I really dont have any issue with my ip4 in terms of signal or anything, and I thought maybe the camera was fine also, but all all the inital shots I took were outdoors. Ive taken a few shots indoors and am not very happy with the results.
Got a tip for us?

You've taken the plastic off the back of the phone haven't you?
Daft question, but I've seen it done.
Looks like a white balance setting to me. There is nothing "technically" wrong since the iPhone 4 is picking the light up the way it actually is not how humans percieve it.
Is there a white balance setting on the iPhone 4? Mine hasn't arrived yet so I can't test.

I cant find any WB setting on the phone, and I doubt that there is one....
Other than this I really have no complaints about the phone, and since I do have some nice high end camera gear its not really a deal breaker for me, but I do use the camera on my phones from time to time to take pics at parties and what not...be nice to be able to get pics that arent all orangish.

If there's not setting for white balance, then see if taking the flash off auto to see if that alters the output at all.
Clearly the phone is not producing images on par with your other phone, so much so, I'd make an appointment with the apple genius

Am I missing something? the top two iP4 pics look waaay better than the middle two. More color, more accurate color, sharper,...
What was the lighting in Pic #1?
Your "problem" is really not a problem but a fact of life when shooting digital images. It is called white balance and even with the best DSLR you will see off color tinting due to the color temperature of the light source. It can be corrected to some degree (more so if shooting RAW) in a camera by settings if available or in post processing. The new app for the iPhone 4 (iPhoto?) has a slider to "warm" or "cool" the looks of the image... this is a white balance correction tool... it adjusts the color temperture. Experiment more and you will find you can get excellent images with the iP4 camera.

lighting in pic one was part incandescant and part morining light coming in through the window.
I know what white balance is and how to correct for it, but it is rather troubling that in all the pics that default WB differs so much from the ip4 to the 3gs.

Colors in the ip4 are way off IMO. My table is not that orange looking, and my checkbook is not that blue.

can we see the original?
As I said in a previous post, my table is not that orange, and my checkbook is not that blue.
Also, there is a large difference in the default WB settings between the 3gs and the ip4.
