RE: trading
It depends on what phone you have right now.

If you have rather recent phone that can take pictures, store music, play some basic games, and connect to your computer, then no it's not worth the trade.

If you have a b&w screen still, then yeah.

Keep in mind about your phone plan. Data plans are more expensive than everything else combined (starting at $30!).

Even though I like the iPhone and the story goes on, I'd reccomend you to keep your iPod touch and use another cellphone.

Why?
  • Expensive data plans, the iPod touch only uses wifi
  • There aren't always-running telephone services on the iPod touch, it's battery last WAY longer
  • iPhone is WAY bigger and heavier than iPod touch.
  • Apps get interrupted by calls on the iPhone (it's a phone after all...)
  • iPhone/iPhone 3G and 2007/2008 iPod touches (and 2009 8Gb iPod touch) all have basically the same hardware, you'll be paying more only for internet everywere, GPS, crappy camera (2MP without autofocus or movie recording, the better one is only for the 3GS) and telephone functions you get on any phone.
  • You will never ever have to worry about paying monthly bills for using your iPod touch

Also, if you ever go to the iPhone side, get an iPhone 3GS: it's faster, got better camera, voice control (I at least love using it =P) and all that stuff Apple loves to advertise about it.

Depends what network you're with. I'm on O2 PAYG and when I top-up with £15 I get unlimited texts and web for free. Other networks have similar offers, such as unlimited web for £5 a month. So it's not so bad.

Not really necessary. 3G is still good. So it may be a bit slower, camera not as good and doesn't have voice control, but the firmware update gives it many features the 3GS has, so I hear.

P.S. It's officially the coolest thing you can have ;)

I don't want to buy a brand, I want to buy a phone.

I switched to an iPhone 3g without a data plan and I actually lost features. With my Ericcsson I could use voice control, and I could sync my phone with my laptop and see CID info on my screen, or use a full keyboard to send SMS.

Really, it's up to what you want. I like it, but don't love it. I also have an iPod that I no longer carry because it became redundant. Then again I don't listen to music that much.

And be prepared to charge your iPhone every day if you don't already.
