4 is a big improvement over the 3, the 4S is less of a step ahead over the 4, but slightly improved.
Personally I'd wait and see what the 5 brings, even if you don't go for it you can pretty much guarantee the 3 will be dropped and the 4 will take its place - shouldn't be too far away and given you're committing to a 24 month contract, you'll probably be glad you did.

Any rumours on when the 5 is out? Or what new features it will have?
You won't find anything other than speculation right up until they announce it. A safe bet would be more oomph, better CPU and camera, but you'll hear plenty suggesting massive screens, coffee making facilities and more. Software is where you'll see bigger improvements and evolution.As for when, your guess is as good as mine, but it'll be towards the back end of the year I think, Q3/4.

Alternatively, if you can't wait, just get the 4/4S and be happy with it as it's a cracking device
If you cannot decide, ensure that at the end of the contract to change it to a calls only v
Contract or you will be paying extra for your existing phone. When you have decided which phone then changr the contract back when you upgrade.
Currently my choice would be iphone 4 with at least 32gb memory, just the right size for harrys lap timer app

4 is a leap over the 3 but for the extra few quid go for the 4s. The 5 probably won't appear til later in the year and even when it does it will be impossible to get one for a while because of all of the idiots that insist on upgrading on day one and queuing for a mile down the road from an Apple store.

4s is worth every penny. The 3 is like an antique running alongside it 
No it's not. The 3GS running on 5.1 is 90% of what the 4s is. Iv got both, the 3 gs is very tough , the 4s less so, the 3GS good as a work phone. Yes I no the 4s has a better screen, camera and filming, but for most people browsing the net the 3GS is fine. Don't forget also the newer phones are only faster if you live in a strong 3G area, something a lot of people over look. That 2 yr 4s contract is popular , 36 quid a month, 800 quid then in total assuming you never breach your data and minute levels. A lot for a phone.

For all there's a lot of similarity due to the shared OS, the 3GS is much slower in general operation - very noticeable when opening chunky apps, manipulating lots of data, even switching between apps is far more 'laggy'. The screen is awful if you're used to the one on the 4. One thing in the 3GS' favour is it's much nicer in the hand but that and price are the only things which swing in it's favour over the 4 from my experience - my 4 has been far, far tougher than the 3GS.
