I a proponet of getting the newest phone as they age quick unless the money is prohibits getting the newest.

It doesn't have to be jailbroken in order to not have to sign up for a contract, but it is the only way to use the phone if you don't have AT&T. I have the original sans 3g Iphone and because I already had AT&T I didn't have to sign up for a new contract when I purchased the phone from a friend of mine. To be totally honest, for most people, getting the newest phone is not going to be that much of an improvement. I've tried almost all of the "iphone killers" out there and keep going back to my 1st gen iphone because I prefer it, even though it doesn't have 3g, hsdpa, real gps or any number of other features.

The main reason why most people get the phone is to surf the web, listen to music and play with the apps. If getting the newest one is worth the additional cost for you, go for it. If you'd rather save the money and don't care too much, get the older one. I might get the new one, but just because mine is getting a bit sluggish and battery life is slowing dying on me, on the other hand, I might just replace the battery.
