Seriously, I bought a 4S back in November and I could have easily saved the $200 by going with the 4. Siri is not good for practical use. It's basically there just to show off. I never use it. I'm only putting out money for re-designed phones from here on out.

Yeah, in my limited usage upon release of other's phones plus everything I knew, it didn't seem like a worthwhile upgrade.
My time with it this weekend just cemented that fact. Thought I would share in case anyone was coming up on an upgrade. Just wait for the next one.
So the processor and camera aren't that big of an improvement? I can't upgrade until August but was thinking of getting a 4S from Craigslist until the 5 comes out. Lol

What if you don't have an iPhone, and you are due for an upgrade, and you need a new phone since your old one (enV3) no longer functions properly?
Worth it to upgrade to a 4S in those circumstances?
I don't really think I'll need the iPhone 5, but some have recommended I just buy a crap phone off eBay for now and then use my upgrade on the iPhone 5 when it releases. But I think I'd be okay if I just went ahead and got the iPhone 4S now.

I would wait. Most likely, you are waiting, the latest, until September. It's not about needing or wanting, you can actually make a profit by waiting!
Get a 5 for $200 with the upgrade, flip for $500-600, and get a 4 which will probably be about $150, sans a contract, by then.

Coming from an iPhone4, I would say no. If you're coming from something else - absolutely.
Siri isn't worth it either. Fun to play around with but it hasn't "changed the game" for me enough to believe that.
Just want to point out - I don't use the camera on my iPhone often. My wife took a few shots of the Brooklyn Bridge and they were incredible for a phone. That may impact your decision.

The next jump in number is pretty big and that is what everyone is expecting, including a re-design. I would try and find a phone sans contract then buy the new one with your upgrade.
But if you bought a 4s, I can see this phone lasting two years easily. My old 4 is coming up on two years and it can do pretty much what any other phone on the market can do.
I don't get this syncing crap. I clearly checked "sync only checked songs and videos" and it just keeps trying to sync/change everything. Why does Apple and M$ have to make interfaces that suck.
NM....once I made the playlist, I didn't realize I had to manually drag it to the device as listed.
