I am 100% buying one.

The iPhone 4 is amazing, but how could you pass up the opportunity to have an even BETTER version of a phone you already love?
 
I will wait. I have had my iPhone 4 only 5 months lol. Haven't even broken it in yet lol lol. Maybe if the specs are overwhelming from what the iPhone 4 has, then maybe later this year around Christmas I will upgrade...maybe! I'm still loving my iPhone 4 right now too much.
 
My 3GS is getting long in the tooth so I will be upgrading as soon as possible. The only question is whether I switch back to Verizon and lose unlimited data or stick with AT&T.
 
Just as a reply to those who pointed out that specs don't count for much as far as the 8MP camera goes, I got that. However, if the camera in the i4 is great and it gets a spec bump, then that's just going to make a great thing even better, which is what I'm excited about.
 
Same as a few here. If there is no increase in the size of the screen at all then I will be looking towards another phone and I have been a IPhone user since 2007. Apple need a redesign not just a 4s to keep customers this time and I hope we get a metal construction with a 3.7-4 inch screen!

Definetly buying because my wife and I still have 3G (sans S). The only reason we didn't upgrade to 4 when we could, is macrumors buyers guide said "Don't Buy Upgrade Soon." Seems that recomendation has been posted for at least 6 months. So I waited, and waited and now I'm still waiting.
 
It looks like I'm in the minority, but I'll be sticking with my 4 for the time being.
 
I'll answer this poll when a new 5...uh...I mean one is created the day of the announcement.
 
I bought a sexy Razr last month off ebay and went back to Verizon so I can get a subsidized iPhone when it comes out.
 
I'm definitely buying one if it is a significant upgrade from the 4, and if it is available through T-Mobile US. It will be my first iPhone! I'm so tired of waiting.
 
If it has atleast the following, ill get it.

4'' Screen
A5 Processer (given)
Supports HSPA+
Better camera
 
Only if they change the design.

I refuse to buy a phone made of fragile glass.

I don't call a phone that shatters from 3 foot drops and has documented signal attenuation issues an "amazing" phone. The iPhone 4 was a dud from Apple. If it had been made by anyone else, it would have been universally reviled for poor industrial design.
