I've had every version of the iPhone since the first one that came out. Although I haven't gotten the 4s, the iPhone 4 is just as prime. (I used my brother's 4s for quite some time and was pretty much the exact same as my 4.) The only difference really is Siri, which is bearable living without. I love my iPhone and all of the others that I've had. I suggest getting one. The iPhone 4 is drastically cheaper than the 4s, so if you're concerned about the prices then just go with the 4. I have AT&T, so I've bought mine at the AT&T store. But I'd buy it from the Apple store or just a Verison store.
