So I'm getting a phone, and I was hoping for some opinions on which iPhone I should get. I kinda want an iPhone because Sprint does unlimited data for them, but I'm really stuck on iPhone 4 or 4S. I could get either, but since the 4 is free, I'm kinda leaning that way but it's only 8GB. Can anyone help me out?

Depends what you're using it for.
8 gig can get a little tricky, especially if you're an avid photo or app person. I have a 32 GB iPhone 4 and love it. My wife, on the other hand, has the 8GB version and gets a little frustrated with space sometimes.
Performance is going to be pretty close on both of those models. 4S has a better camera and can record 1080p video. 4S also has Siri, if you're into that sort of thing.
What's the cost difference between the 4 and 4S? If you can get the 16 GB for, say, $50 I'd probably take the 4S.

Get a galaxy note 2 or a Galaxy S 3 instead.

The 4S will get you at least 3 to 3.5 years worth of firmware upgrades before Apple stops supporting it, the 4 may have 1.5 - 2 years before Apple stops updating it.
And as was said, you'll probably end up wanting more than 8gig of memory after 4-5 months if not sooner, so if cost isn't too big an issue a 16gig 4S would probably last you longer than a 8gig 4.

16GB 4S, what I have, almost filled it up mostly with photos/videos/apps, but it's fine, get that, don't get the 4

Thanks for the input, I think I'll get a 4S. As an aside, what's a good place to sell my iPod touch? I suppose I don't really need it anymore if I get an iPhone.

keep the iPod Touch, in case touch wood, anything ever happened to your back-ups on the iPhone, just hide it away and maybe charge it every several months, best bet
