Hi! I can't speak for the iphone, but I bought an ipod touch in January when I was trying to replace a few of my electronics, since I had lost everything when my house burned down. I had gotten one for my daughter for Christmas, and she really loved it, and so I thought I'd give it a try. I really DO like it, and I have quite a bit of music on it already. Also the picture taking is great! I had purchased the 32 GB one, and that seems sufficient so far.... Then, I went ahead and bought the new ipad 2, mainly for some of the music apps that my husband wanted. My dilemma there was that I only bought a 16 GB ipad, so when I hooked it up to the computer with my music on it, I had to be careful to pick and choose only a small amount of the albums I had on my ipod, otherwise I would have used all of the available memory just for the music! It was doable, but a bit tricky.

I can't speak for the phone quality of the iphone, but it must be pretty good because so many people swear by them! On the other hand, my son has worked for at&t since before it was at&t - 12 years in the cell phone business, and he suggested to me that you might want to consider an android phone instead of an iphone. Ii have had androids since I switched from my blackberry in February, and it's been great - I have had Samsung phones; I currently have the Samsung Captivate.

Good luck with your decision. Let us know what you decide and how it goes!
