yesterday I called ATT about iPhone 4 upgrade at retail price I was told that I wont upgrade until after March 2011 or pay full price. I am thinking now is if I wait until March 2011 for iPhone 4 but then June 2011 will have new iPhone 5 I am sure it might be better than iPhone 4? Or ATT would offer an early upgrade if I buy it on March and upgrade it on June 11?

The eternal dilemna, in which the products change but the premise does not. Buy it if you want it and can afford it, that's my advice. I'm buying myself out of a Sprint contract ($120) to get the 32GB model a week from today.

You could try selling it and the paying the difference if you really want the iPhone 4

It's only $100 more for me to upgrade my 3GS to a 4 and my upgrade is available in February 2011. This was according to the AT&T website.

If you buy an iphone 4 next march for a subsidized price there no way in hell they're gonna let you turn around 3 months later and buy a new iphone 5 as well.

Why don't you just wait for "iphone 5" if you really think it's coming next year. Most likely it will be some sort of 4G version of iPhone.
