[Merged] Ipod Touch vs. Iphone

[Aj23]

The 8gb Iphone is about $50 more (if I can find on in the states at AT&T for $250 still) but is it any good to be used as a phone? What extra features does the Iphone have? Anything else that can justify purchasing one over the other?

Yeah the iphone is a great phone. No problems so far. The only extra feature is i guess the phone part lol.

You can call people with the iPhone.

[Gee]

For $50, I would get the phone.

I used to have an iPod touch and a regular cell phone.

Sold the touch, now I have an iPhone

Great phone.

go with the phone. Also when you unlock/jailbreak it you could use all the ipod touch features without a sim card. So you can always have a second phone and when you feel like carrying only one item just pop in the sim card.

ok, I'll see if I can get one from an AT&T store. But if not, is it still worth it at $400? Also what is new with Ipod touch V2? I was just playing with an Ipod touch at Futureshop and I love it. But the Iphone is going to be a bit more bulky (I think, never used one yet), does anyone find it to be a little to big?

I don't really need the phone or camera feature (heard the camera sucks anyways) but if it is worth it, I'll try to get it.

Yea I'll try and get it then. Hoping store still have the refurb stock at $250 so I can get my friend to get it and ship it to me. One problem though is that I have not seen an iphone in real and I don't know if it will feel comfortable in my hand as the touch did (since it is larger). I guess I can sell it though if I don't like it.

Don't forget, the iphone has that terrible recessed headphone jack which means if you want to use earphones/headphones other than the ones that came with the phone, you're out of luck.

More people say the Iphone so I'll attempt to get it. I probably won't use the phone that much though since I don't have on now and hardly need one, but atleast it will be there for when I do. I could set it up on rogers pay as you go or 7-11 speakout. Does the ipod touch have a smaller head phone jack as well? And if I jailbreak the touch, can I get more apps than the iphone or atleast the same ones?

nope the itouch doesn't have the recessed headphone jack. You can use all the same apps except the ones that use the camera/phone features (obviously). The iPhone is bigger and heavier than the Touch. It weighs in at 4.8 ounces and 11.6 mm depth versus the Touch's slim 4.2 ounces and 8mm thickness. Hope this helps

I just found a deal for a 8gb Ipod touch for $180, though it is said the be scratched up on the back but perfect screen (scratch proof). I was thinking about getting it and some scratch remover for $10, clean it up, and then I have an Ipod touch for $190. But then, if I want to put all the apps on it (seen some with 200+ apps) how much space would it take? I think 16gb might be a little bit better.
