billgates: It will be very interesting to see the results at end of Q4 2011. Previously iPhone was only available on the AT&T network where as Android was available on all major US networks. For CDMA customers in US, the only choice available was Android. Now that iPhone is available on Verizon which is the biggest network there and also available on the 2nd biggest network in US which is AT&T, customers will have the iPhone as an option. Not to mention that Windows Phone 7 will also launch on first half of 2011 on both Verizon and Sprint. Web OS will also hopefully gain some traction with their GSM release worldwide.
So you will have WP7 and Android on all major US networks. iPhone on AT&T and Verizon which are the biggest mobile network providers in US and webOS hopefully on atleast 3 major US networks as well.
Competition has just started this year IMHO.

And that, I believe, is the answer to your dilemma right there.

Well, my wife took the decision out of my hands, and I can't say I'm disappointed with the result :-D
She surprised me with a 32GB iPhone 4 today for my birthday, which was rather unexpected. I knew the plan was to get me a new phone, but the plan was also to wait a month or two so we could recover from festive spending first. :-)
If anyone wants to buy a 2nd Gen 32GB iPod Touch, let me know. I'll be listing it on TradeMe shortly.
ArtooDetoo:
Congrats on your new device dclegg. Make sure you get an impact absorbing case asap and enjoy. :)
Oh, and happy birthday dude.
Cheers,

Thanks! The plan was to simply get a replacement back (similar to this, but from a local supplier), and a bumper for the sides (the back's already been ordered). I've already applied a screen protector (badly; I always suck at that :-)).
All I need to do now is figure out whether I want to pay the exorbitant $30 that Vodafone apparently charge for a micro-sim, or pay $20 for a 2 Degrees one. Doing the latter will abandon the $50 credit I still have left though, but I do intend to migrate to them eventually.
The twist is this is credit I didn't pay for, as it was won via Twitter and Facebook comps (@VodafoneTreats FTW!). But credit is credit no matter how I got it, and abandoning it doesn't seem overly smart.

You can cut your current mini SIM down to micro SIM and continue to use it.
From the web... "I got my iPhone 4 today, popped out the micro sim, placed it over my old sim and traced it, cut it close with a scissor, [sic] then used a [sic] emery board to size it and knock-off the pointed corners, works great."
So it might be totally free (if you wanna be a little adventurous), plus you keep your credit.
