The Easter Bunny just told me that she's going to give me $100 towards an Easter gift. I need an iPod, so here's my issue.
The Nano with the color screen is $150. The Touch is $200. If I'm going to spend at least $50 anyway, should I just upgrade to the Touch and spend the extra $50? BUT - my phone contract is up in September and I'm considering the iPhone, which is only $99. Should this influence my decision?

The iPhone is $99 BUT that's with a 2 to 3 year contract. Who is planning to pay for the monthly rate?

I don't know man, do you want a simple MP3 player, or apps? Which has the priority?

I would either get the iPhone or the iPod Nano, but not the iPod touch. The iPod touch is useless if you don't have a WiFi connection; what's the point of having a smart device if it's connected to the internet less than half of the time? I'd just cough up the money for a voice and data plan and get the iPhone and then get my iPod and iTouch in one unit.

I'd be paying the monthly rate.

Thank you! I think that's the answer I was looking for!

Make sure to compare the rate you pay now with the rate that comes with the iPhone for the same services.
