june ish. thats atleast 4 months away. I couldnt be assed waiting so bought a 3gs last week.

If you have none i would go with the 3gs or wait it out till the 4g. Coming from the 3g my contract is up and i don't find the 3gs enough of an upgrade to warrant another 18 month contract.

When is the 4g expected? I am going to get an iphone in May when my contract ends but not sure whether to wait for the 4g.

4G will be out in June/July. If your contract runs out in May then you'd definitely best off waiting.

But I suspect the price of the 4G will be stupid. For what I will use it for I might just get the 3Gs, unless the 4G will offer ground breaking features and flash support.

doubt it . last time they just all swapped prices

eg the 3gs became the price of the 3g. the 3g the price of the 2g. the 2g dropped

that will happen again imo

antijoke · 8 Feb 2010 at 10:48

Well if that's the case then I shall wait and see if I can get a 4G for £90.

I really wanted to ditch my C902.

I'd be very surprised if the iPhone ever supports Flash, given what Apple have said.

I doubt the price will be any higher than the current models. The current models have never seen a price cut. Judging by past releases, we'll see something like this for the prices:

8GB 3G replaced by 16GB 3GS
16GB 3GS replaced by 32GB 4G
32GB 3GS replaced by 64GB 4G

LOL so instead of going with either iphone, you went completely the opposite way and got a Hero??...personally i would have got one of the newer Android devices but thats just me
