I'm going to hop in with my thoughts here too...I have a 3Gs. Love it, I don't use the iPod or movie features, I'll have my son teach me one day. Lol. I Stayed with it when 4 came out because I like the size and sleekness of the smaller phone. When I got it, it was a HUGE difference from the 3. So I'll be upgrading to 4s. My biggest 'wish' for the iPhone is Bluetooth control. I want to voicedial from the earpiece like I did with my bb and nokias. So fill me in if I'm just technically challenged. But I want to use the earpiece with my phone remaining in my pocket or purse. Phone dialing isn't handsfree IMHO. I'm an old lady so maybe I'm just not getting it.

> Agree that the name seems to be the hangup for a lot of folks. So far every version has had something(s) the previous one didn't. That will probably hold true next year or whenever the next version is released. I don't recall ever seeing anything other than speculation that this one would be "iPhone5." I don't know what would make "iPhone5" better than "iPhone 4S." It's semantics.

I had a 3G at the time and didn't feel what I considered a few upgrades to be worth the extra $ for the 3GS. Now her 3G is almost obsolete so I'm using her upgrade to get the 4S and will pass down my 4 to her (I'm the heavier user of the phone so she is fine with that). I would now rather spend a little more to get the current one and the two-year contract rather than get the contract and a "new" phone that's already 12-15 months old.
