New iPhone - worth it?

Well, Apple went and delivered at WWDC 2010 - they unveiled the fourth generation of iPhone technology, the iPhone 4. Equipped with their very own A4 processor (to go toe-to-toe with Qualcomm's beast-of-a-processor, Snapdragon) and sporting an aluminosilicate glass enclosure, with a stainless steel band around the phone (which houses the Bluetooth, WiFi, and 3G signal antennas). The iPhone 4 boasts a 5 megapixel camera with illuminated LED flash and also records video in 720p HD. iPhone 4 comes equipped with iPhone OS 4 (now dubbed iOS 4) with all the trimmings and features, which Apple previously detailed. Is this phone worth leaving your current contract for on another carrier or upgrading, if on AT&T? Depends on your experience with AT&T and if your carrier's cancellation fees won't have you up in arms. However, if you just recently got Sprint's new gem, it probably wouldn't be worth it to leave and head over for something that may, from a technological standpoint, be playing catch-up, instead of breaking ground. Only time will tell, though.
