For example, the iPhone 4 is a 3G phone, the Evo is 4G. The iPhone 4 doesn't have the camera quality of the Evo (8mp) or the Incredible (8mp). The iPhone still won't have flash. Even in the areas that the iPhone wins, it won't be for long. Apple releases a new iPhone about once a year (2G - June 29, 2007, 3G - July 11, 2008, 3GS - June 8, 2009, 4G June 24, 2010). Current android phones are already beating the 3GS in reviews, the Incredible and the EVO aren't that far off, and in some cases better than the iPhone 4 in terms of specs. New Android phones with greater features are popping up every month it seems. As a hardware platform iPhone 4 will be obsolete soon enough, and while you're waiting the majority of another year for the next big thing, those who love Android phones will no doubt already have it.
Megapixels isn't everything and Jobs said it himself that he is not going to get into a megapixel statistic war with the competition. You can have 100 MP, but still have the worst lens possible and photo quality would suffer due to the crappy lens.

AT&T doesn't even have LTE even running yet. So it wouldn't make sense for Apple to put LTE stuff into the iPhone( especially like 3G when it came out, 4G is extremely battery hungry).
