Question by Danny: What are the difference between an iPhone 3 and iPhone 4 and is it worth it?
I’m not much of a tech-y guy, and I’m getting an iPhone for my birthday. I’ve noticed that iPhone 4 costs triple of the previous version. I look at the difference list but it’s mostly jibrish to me.
Can anyone explain the differences between the two, and if it’s worth it to get the latter?

Basically, you are not very knowledgeable when it comes to complicated features. I’ll just tell you the basic ones that are most easily understood and differentiated between the two.

The screen size is the same, but the 4’s resolution is 4 times bigger (640 x 960 pixels) than the 3rd’s (320 x 480 pixels).
The 4 is slimmer than the 3rd, but has some reception issues.
The 4 has a 5 mp camera capable of HD recording, while the 3rd’s camera sucks sooo much it seems unusable for a phone of that price.
The 3rd lacks the improvement or change in design, in which the 4 was blessed with.
The 4 has a longer battery life.
The 4 has very fast processors. Yes, even faster than the 3gs’.
The 4 as videocalling, but over wifi only.

That would basically be the difference. See these sites if you want to read their complete reviews.

Personally, I’d rather get a Samsung S8500 Wave, but I think the Iphone 4 is too overpriced. The same goes with the 3gs. So, I won’t be getting any of the two, hoho.

Good luck with your choosing.
