hey, I am thinking of getting myself an iPhone 3gs. the only dilemma i'm facing that what if apple releases their next gen iPhone(4g?) for the same price in a few months compared to the current iPhone 3gs pricing?

yes, there's been rumors of them releasing the next iPhone in summer 2010, but what do you guys think of the pricing in Malaysia. also to consider, availability, will we need to wait a couple of months for it to be available here?

all things considered, is it worth the wait if my budget is the current pricing of 3gs?(and how much cheaper 3gs will be when 4g is out..)

ugh.. so hard to make a decision, help! lol

(my main concern is pricing. i'm pretty certain on getting a 3GS even if the 4g comes out, but will it be worth the wait..)

This is a difficult question to answer. The melei saying goes - tepuk dada tanya selera.

Apple WILL release a newer phone sometime.
So will Nokia, SE, Samsung etc. If you wanna wait for the latest and greatest you'll end up owning nothing.

Owning a 3GS I'm happy. Maybe I'll even change to the 4G in 2 years or so - but that's just me.  Will the 3GS price drop? Maybe. How much? I'm guessing not by much - because right now Apple is bound to Maxis, and they will ensure they milk every single sen out of you and me.

So yeah, if you wanna have an awesome phone right now, get a 3GS. If you want it cheaper, call back in maybe 18 months or so.
