I plan on upgrading to the 5 now that they finally will add 4G, turn by turn, and a few other features most of ya'll don't use.

Definitely wouldn't go apple without 4G. Plus I have airplayed my entire house which is awesome.

Hoping the up the screen size to a 4", hate the 3.5"

I'm so techno illiterate that I don't even know what it means to airplay your house. I have a wireless router that I'm smart enough to secure and password protect, but that's about it.

Airplay means I have a bunch of airplay compatible devices that I can stream movies, music, the current screen I am using on my phone, computers, iPad to a number of other devices including those mentioned and all my flat panel TVs and arcade. I also have two standalone speaker setups for music.

Alternatively, you could come over to the Android side! I've got the Razr and it's pretty nice.
I've also got Ice Cream Sandwich (shhh! I'm not supposed to tell) which has some pretty nice functions.

The only reason to go to the iPhone are the apps. Harry's Laptimer is worth going to an iPhone by itself.

I am running jellybean currently on my galaxy nexus. It's the first os that has felt buttery smooth like my iPad. Google is upping the game in a big way with the stock OS. They really just need to get a heavy hitter piece of hardware to combine it all in one spectacular package. They just haven't hit that yet. The good hardware gets stuck with bloatware bullshit or the vanilla phone gets cheap hardware.

I think the advantage with the Android systems as they improve is they are tied to the search engine that is used most. Whereas, apple products are an outsider using someone else's product.
It's like Rossi on his own bike running laps around a track. It's his bike and they are one. Then, Kevin Schwantz hops on it and although he's a great rider, he's not going to be quite as fast as Rossi on Rossi's bike. Did any of that make sense!?

Apple and Google use to be tight before Google made Android. Apple is slowly purchasing other companies to get rid of this connection though. They did away with Google Maps for iOS6 and are moving to a Tom Tom run company til they can build their own maps. Siri is starting to do a lot of the search functions for Apple users and not feeding any user information about who is doing the search to Google, this eliminates the advertising money for google.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Apple trying to buy up a search company before long.

I just ran a Jellybean Search vs iOS5 Siri, Jellybean destroyed Siri. iOS6 Siri is a different animal though.
