My 3G iphone is maybe 5 months old? Theoretically, I have to wait 1.5 more years to get the 4G which by then will be a 6G, and it will still cost $199. It pisses me off that I cannot walk in and exchange for a newer phone. I would not mind paying the $199... but Nooooooo, its gonna be $600...

IPhone 4 is not 4G. It is 3G just like the last 2. It is primarily an OS upgrade, with a few minor HW "upgrades" (like the shorting out of the antenna by touching the phone) as well. I am just not a fan of the IPhone. When it came out, no question it was the best for apps, but I just don't like the way things are put together on it. I prefer the Android platform. Both have their pluses and Minuses, and it all comes down to user preference.
