> No, it doesn’t have 4G connectivity. It has HSDPA, which as they describe uses one antenna to send data, one to receive (Think DC vs. AC current), so it’ll be double the data speed it was. It’s not the same as 4G which Verizon, Sprint, and AT&T have along with almost all new Droid phones.

Yeah I edited saying it doesn’t seem to have 4G, however it’s still not official as there are rumors of something similar to 4G but not exactly that.

With that said, 4G drains the battery even more so than 3G does, which isn’t good.

Only thing from an upgrade I may consider of value is a camera and that alone may make me reconsider as I take quite a few pictures with the phone as it’s always on me.

Second perk that may make me reconsider is Siri, which if nothing else is a cool gimmick

Plus finally, if I understand it right, many new Apps may not be 3GS compatible being made specifically for new product.
