This is my simple way around the dilemma of the somewhat overpriced Iphone ( something like $800 for the 16gb version) . I'm keeping my $90 prepaid phone, as I seem to drop them and lose them often enough.

The 3rd Gen 32gb Ipod Touch is $398 and makes more sense if you want to listen to music and use the applications without a phone and video otherwise identical to the Iphone. I'm looking forward to getting my whole music collection on to one and I have about 40 applications picked out too..many of them are free.
