It makes no sense spending so much on a phone which looks exactly the same as the one I've got. Yes it is faster, has siri and has a better camera but the 4 is already a great phone with great features and with IOS 5 makes it even better..those spec upgrades simply are not enough for it to be worth paying over £500 to me which is why alot with iphone 4's are sticking with their 4's.
did the exact same thing
i had to deal with a 3g the last 2 months but i guess it was worth it
A feature not advertised, and most people don't realize. Color accuracy. As a graphic designer, these things obviously stands out to me. Compare to any Android phone, iPhone4's colors will blow it out of the water. Samsung displays for example, have a lot of weird color saturation that are too strong, especially in the reds. I really wanted a bigger screen, but bigger doesn't mean the colors and density are better. So I went with iPhone, despite it's many flaws..

I'm on the original iPhone. I was upgrading no matter what was released.

I like how they rearranged the black strips on the frame it makes it more aesthetically pleasing.

Two reasons, this is my first iPhone and it is so beautiful in white. The others things like the A5 processor, 8MP camera, retina display and Siri are just icing on the cake.
The others things like the A5 processor, 8MP camera, retina display and Siri are just icing on the cake.It'll be my first smartphone so it'll be a huge jump from my previous phone. Also I've always wanted a white iPhone because it's alot more different than the black. Oh and also the technical upgrades such as A5 and better Camera and also iOS5 looks great!
Because I made the terrible, terrible decision to buy an HTC Aria Android phone (worst phone ever) last June when the iPhone 4 was out of stock in my area. Such a bad choice. And because of Siri, camera, iCloud, iOS 5, fast processor, just the best phone in the world.
I have a 3G. One application takes 15 seconds to come up. Others take repeated tried to get the to run. I'm thinking iOS5 would kill it if the even allow me to load it. I had no choice.
Tired of my Droid X randomly rebooting, freezing, apps crashing, and battery not lasting all day..
Because.... I wanted an iPhone 4 and the iPhone 4S is technically cheaper. Previously the 32gb 4 was £612 but the 4S 32gb is £599... so it's worth it.
But even if it wasn't cheaper it would still be worth it for the following:

- White. Only ever had the black iPhone before.
- 8MP Camera with face detection
- 1080P Video
- Video stabilisation
- 64GB storage capacity
- Siri
- Dual core processor
- Better graphics

I still own a 3GS so I am overdue for an upgrade. I love the 4's design.
