Should I buy an iPhone 3GS or an iPhone 4?

I would like to buy a new phone and I've always wanted an iPhone, but never had the money to buy one - but now I do. I'm 100% sure that I will buy an iPhone, so please don't suggest any other mobile phones that I should buy. I should tell you that I want to buy the iPhone upfront, without any contracts or monthly payments. I should also tell you not to recommend an iPod Touch since many people have; I already own one. I currently live in the United Kingdom, which should clarify any confusion. Here are the details for an iPhone I'm looking for: iPhone 3GS or iPhone 4, white colour, at least 16GB memory, new condition and SIM-free/unlocked.

Please answer the following questions:

- Are both phones drastically different or fairly similar?
- Is it worth spending more money on an iPhone 4 for better features?
- Can you recommend any local or online stores where I should buy an iPhone 3GS?
- Can you recommend any local or online stores where I should buy an iPhone 4?
- Where is the cheapest place to buy either iPhone in new condition?
- Have you ever owned an iPhone?
- Which iPhone is your favourite, and why?
- Do you have any website links or videos that I should watch?

If you have had any personal experiences with iPhones, then please give me your suggestions and useful advice. Please answer with as much detail as possible. I really appreciate it!

I'm sorry I can't answer your specific points, but I have heard a rumour that, once the iPhone 5 is released, Apple will stop supporting the iPhone 3G model. I'm not too sure how that will affect iPhone 3 users but, in terms of updates and new apps, this may be a problem. I pondered this myself when I looked up prices for an iPhone 3G or 4.

Hope this helps somehow

Iphone 4 bigger screen and faster but the apps crash alot on any iphone and android phones like never crash
