Smart phone or ipod touch? - Dominic A I'm just wondering, should I upgrade to a smart phone like the MyTouch 3g or get a regular phone and get an ipod touch. I don't really go online every time so I'd be wasting the 25 dollars for the data plan if I go for the MyTouch. Yet, I'd love to have a phone that is "all-in-one" so I won't have 2 separate devices for my different needs. With the ipod touch, I'd have all the features like music/video player, internet access, apps, etc... just without the phone and I won't have to pay a cent for a life-time's worth for internet because of the built in WiFi.

Best Answer: say get a cheap phone, and get an iPod touch. The iPod touch can call and text if you download the right apps :) have a look at why you should get an iPod: And if you own an iPod touch, and need more power, you can always jailbreak. Jailbreaking your iPod, is basically like calling up Steve jobs, and making him create an iPod the way you want. Here's what you can do with a jailbroken iPod touch: http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa186/doubbleohh/5e4217e9.jpg Notice the followig: -The background is different -there's no slider -the name "iPod" in the top left, has been changed to "iMatt" -notice the battery is shown in percent Now the homescreen: http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa186/doubbleohh/1ef80b5d.jpg Notice the following: -the theme is completely different, this theme is called "iElegant" it is 1 of 1,000 themes created for your iPod. -notice apps like Appulous, Cydia, iFile. These apps provide more power than you can ever imagine. Don't you hate when you have 100's of apps on your homescreen? Don't you wish you could... ORGANIZE THEM! well it's possible. Notice the app "Games" in the picture above?have a look what happens when that app is tapped: http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa186/doubbleohh/53e9aee4.jpg VOILÀ! a neat place to organize your games, and anything else. Most of these games by the way, were free for download, with the help of Appulous, a free app that hosts links to 10,000's of apps in the AppStore, all FREE! Onto iFile, an app similar to "explorer" in windows, it's the My Computer of the iPod, in this app, your entire file system is viewable: http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa186/doubbleohh/272eb5c1.jpg Notice how I have: -Movies -episodes -games -apps So far I have a total of 132 episodes, 21 movies, and 64 apps, ALL FREE!!! Here are the apps you need to get then: -FreeFlix (movies and tv shows) -Appulous or Appcake (appulous alternative) And all this is well in your hands, from jailbreaking. so if I haven't sold you alreay, then your simply out of your mind.. GET AN IPOD NOW!! Not to mention, safari is one of the top notch internet program, and if you jailbreak, you can have a built in download manager, which let's you download ANYTHING inside your iPod. It's great for downloading movies, because it generally gets a highe. Mb/s download rate. - ▐▀▀▼▀▀▌ ►M.AT&T◄ ▐▄▄▲▄▄▌
