Tell me why I should not go for Ipod Touch 4 instead of IPhoe 4 !!!

Hi Akp, This is quite an expensive gift that you are buying for me... . I cannot afford the bills. It is the feeling and I am happy that you are planning to gift me anything on the new year Cheers, theSids.

You are correct the only difference between the two is that one has phone capability and the other doesn't. But in order to utilize the iphone you need to have a service provider for us it is AT&T, they are the only service provider for that phone, even though the phone may cost $200, you need to sign a service agreement with them for a minimum of a year and their monthly cost for that service is approximately $60 a month. Personally I would buy the iPod, even though it is a bit more expensive, but I wouldn't want to pay a service provider that much money a month to utilize the iPhone. If anyways you have the same capabilities and you even have wi-fi (internet access). That's just my personal opinion.

I have the ipod touch 2G, and it has suited me fine. My grandson got an ipod touch 4G for Christmas, and he showed it to me, and it is a very nice ipod. It even has a camera which the others don't have. I am thinking of maybe upgrading my ipod touch one of these days. You are right, it doesn't have the call capability but I do think that the ipod would be better than the iphone4. I have never had an iphone, as I am with Verizon, and they don't have it. I think it all depends on which one you get though, as the 8gig ipod is the cheapest and they go up from there. My ipod is just an 8gig as that is all that I need. I hope you decide which one is best for you though, and have a very good day.

I would rather go for the Iphone3 which comes at a cheaper price than Iphone4 which is said to have some flaws! I wouldn't mind spending money considering the features this Iphone4 offers...applications wise!

That depends what you want to do. If you have already a cellphone that you are satisfied with and only want these great additional features like apps, Wifi etc. then the iPod will do that too, and it's cheaper too. but if you want phone capabilities along with the iPod features, then I would invest in the iPhone, but then be careful about the agreement of your service provider. If your service provider offers the iPhone, I would ask the service provider for prices, new agreements, offers etc. In Austria, at least three providers already offer the iPhone, but I don't own it yet.
