Just order the damned thing and enjoy it. Regardless of what it is or isn't, there's gonna be a new one in a year.

Because I've waited over 2 years...what's a few more months. At least that is what I'm trying to tell myself.

In my way of thinking, the CDMA iPhone 4 is brand new. If it comes out in a couple weeks or whatever, it'll be a year or better until the CDMA iPhone 5 comes out.
At least that makes sense, as all the resources are going to be tied up banging out the GSM iPhone 5, and it's the way Apple has upgraded every device in the past. It simply doesn't make sense that they'd release the 4, then the 5 in six months. Not from a business standpoint, or a manufacturing standpoint, or any standpoint, and it's not how they've done things in the past.

If I were employing a strategy based on my plan, which allows an upgrade every 18 months (or whatever), I'd want to get my phone immediately. That way I'd be only 6 months waiting for the iPhone 6, and my plan would already be ready, know what I mean?
If you wait 8 months, you'll end up having to wait for not only the 5 (and it may not show up), but if you go ahead and finally get the 4 cause you're tired of waiting, you'll get screwed when the 6 comes out.
That all goes right back to "no better time than the present", and "you might be dead tomorrow". Add to that "You're never going to out-think The Man", and that's some real strong arguments to get it now.
One more thing...
If you don't do it now, and you change your mind a month from now, the waiting list will likely be months and months, and you won't get anything.

I promise you, you'll be happy if you get the phone now. They are simply awesome, and just plain fun. Will you be more happy and have more fun if you wait till later? I have no way of knowing, plus you might be dead.
What I can say is that I just got the 4, and it's no more fun than the 3gs I just got rid of, and it's supposed to be a phenomenal advancement. *shrug*
