THE IPHONE PWNS!!! I can't really say anythingn bad about iTouch, though, It is a pretty intriguing device for anyone who doesn't want to terminate a contract or pay 100$ a month for enough minutes. But all in all i thing the iPhone is better I guess I’m the only one that realized that the iPhone is a revolutionary cell phone, and an iPod Touch. THE IPHONE PWNS!!!

Hell, your word is good enough for me :) Thanks for the immediate post!

I asked myself too. Should I had gotten an iphone instead of an ipod touch? I got my 32 gb for valentines day. I didn’t wanna get an iphone because i have my sony ericsson ultraslim w880i. It takes ok pics. I tried the iphone at the apple store and the camera quality is not super at all. It plays music too my SE phone but sometimes it drains my battery and it dies on me. I like the phone to be just a phone so i have the battery when needed. Ipod touch is then reserved for music and video and other stuffs. - JENNY" I had the exact same thoughts Jenny. Also noting that I don't have a high end phone ( Nokia 6300) I was sick with worry that I had thrown away a good $499! More so, because the iphone is camera+phone+ipod (16 GB) at $499. Is the quality of the images really that bad? Heck, are you happy with the ipod touch seeing that you've had it for a little over a month now? “The post is great. I asked myself too.

I haven't yet received it, but I have been reading reports of the audio and video performance of the touch being abysmal and those of the iphone being "glorious" ! I'd really hate to find out that this is true 'cause if so, it defeats the very purpose of buying an ipod touch! Could someone who already owns a ipod touch please clarify this aspect? Hello people,

Just bought an 8GB iPod Touch while am in US. The reason behind going for an iPod Touch rather than the iPhone is a question I have to answer repeatedly. There are many forces behind the same... 1st I already own a N70 Music Edition for personal use. Although music sucks on Nokia, the 2MP camera does its job pretty well. 2nd a (forced) SmartPhone from the company with ActiveSync is all I need for office. 3rd For a high-end uses I have got a Canon SX100 with 8MP+10x. 4th Of course iPod Touch, without the hassles of unlocking in my home country. 5th last and the least, iPhone is yet to be officially released for most of the Asian market. :) Cool post Steve.

Lets just turn our back to all those phone companies that've been taking advantage of us. Just see through guys. Its the personal future device. You get in your car, you put it in your dock, its your Gps device its your media device, its your tv, its your "Personal Device". Ipod touch is the future phone or should I say the Future “Personal Device”.

I love my simple pay-as-you-go phone, and I don't use it for anything except phone calls. I am looking for a device to do everything else! Looks like an iTouch for me. Thanks for a balanced review.

I got mine for Christmas and its totally worth it. it doesnt take long to charge and the battery doesent really die fast. unless your watching alot of Videos on youtube. but i love how it fits perfect in my small hands and the weight at first shocked me cause im used to a cheap plastic MP3 and i had never own an ipod untill now. But its not THAT Heavy. after you have it for a few days you dont even notice it. the screen is easy to clean. just everything about it is amazing plus im glad i didnt get the iphine because if im out and about i dont want people annoying me with phone calls. : D lacey I love my Ipod Touch.
