But I am going to get a WiFi-only. I have an original that is WiFi-only, and a 2 that is 3G. I find I have very little need for the 3G. Every now and again I use it, but honestly, not very often at all. For the rare times I feel the need, my iPhone will get me by. I never have a need to transfer files in the field. I create no documents in the field (just collect data on occasion). I just do email and an occasional google search. The phone is fine for that.

I find that WiFi is so widely available that the 3G is almost unnecessary.

Do you have a specific need for the 4G?
