Upgrading to iPhone 4s or waiting for iPhone 5?

Why am I posting this as a poll?
1) Boredom . . . I enjoy reading the often insightful responses even the most routine questions sometimes engender
2) It's been a while since I posted a poll (see #1 above)
3) A snapshot of our community reaction to the iPhone 4s and Keynote would be interesting

As for myself, I will be upgrading (currently have the 3Gs) but may wait a month or two to do it and play with IOS 5 on my 3Gs before changing hardware.

I dunno yet. The new 4Gs is tempting. Especially since I'm still using a first gen iPhone.

With a cracked screen. ^-^ Still works so we will see.

All I can say is , "Wow!"

Do you have any hand-crank land lines around the house?

Am sure I'll hit the store within a couple of days of release, if not on the day of.

It's got enough extra, think it'd be a worthwhile upgrade from the 3GS.
But need to see if I can get past the square design.
Maybe I should go for a hand replacement and get a hand that's square instead of curved.

What about the category for those of us who have been lugging around blackberries for years but are finally going to make the leap to an iPhone (I think). I don't know that I view the 4s necessarily as a 'significant' upgrade from the last model - but considering everyday I want to smash my blackberry to tiny little pieces - it'll do.

You have my blessing to use your Mod powers to add another category if you wish.

Bob, that was worth some Rep, but I have to spread the love some more before I can give it.
My only real complaint is I've already voted so I can't vote for your new category.

I wonder if the company would make a stink if I held a ceremonial blackberry smashing session - before giving it back to them? Seriously - every time I have to wait 20-30 s just to get to the dialog box to enter my password so I can make a call it's all I can do not to throw it as far as I can - I can't wait to get rid of this thing.
