I wonder if the iPhone 5 will support LTE. If it does, then it's definitely worth it to hold off on buying the iPhone 4.

I have been debating what phone to get for some time now. Despite my dislike of Apple, having used the 2G iphone for the last little while (without a data plan, relying only on wireless) I was actually considering getting the new iPhone if it had a 4" screen and could be jailbroken.
I'm assuming its for personal use? Loads of people are now on the blackberry for pro/Iphone for leisure sorta usage...
They're way ahead of apple for corporate needs though.
Its nice, but from a 3GS I am not sure if the upgrade is worth it... If only because you are then locked in for 2 years and hopefully an LTE phone will be out next year.
The prob with LTE is that it isn't truly 4G...
Care to expand on that? My understanding is that LTE and WiMax are your two choices for 4G, they are relatively similar - similar enough that Sprint could switch over at a relatively low cost from WiMax.
LTE is a step toward the 4th generation (4G) of radio technologies designed to increase the capacity and speed of mobile telephone networks. Where the current generation of mobile telecommunication networks are collectively known as 3G (for "third generation"), LTE is marketed as 4G. Actually LTE is a 3.9G technology since it does not fully comply with the IMT Advanced 4G requirements.
* Still only 16 & 32 GB options? Ugh.
Don't bet on it. When the 3GS was supposed to be released, it was supposed to have a forward facing camera and a lot more features than it actually came out with (since it was only an upgraded version of the 3G). Thus, any thing you might be expecting, wait for it to come out a generation after next summers release.* Plus my gut says next summer a new iPhone will be released with a bigger screen and (possibly) 4G access.
+1 I really thought with the lowering of SSD memory prices the iPhone 4 would be available in 32 and 64 GB.
Even a small upgrade to 24 & 40 GB would have been welcomed.
