We're only a few months away from the next iPhone, so buying the 4 now would be a waste of money. Actually unless you get a really good deal, buying any iPhone now is a bad idea.

does anyone have an opinion on whether I should get the Iphone 4 or wait and get the Iphone 5.... can't decide.

Hate to be mean but if you don't even know that the iPhone 5 has been out for many months you really should not waste any money on the better tech (since you wouldn't be able to appreciate it anyway) and donate it to charity instead.

Apple does a "tic toc" cycle on the iPhones, every 2 years they release a "new" iPhone, in the middle of the 2 year cycle, the typically release a refresh of the current version, faster CPU and some other upgrades.

That being said, the 5 is pretty good, a very good screen, LTE, brisk CPU/GPU, I'd get the 5 now if you don't care about a slightly upgraded phone being likely released in Sept. IMHO, the LTE radio in the 5 is a significant upgrade over the 4 and the 4S, makes the whole experience better.
