iTouch or iPhone?

[KCMiller]

I'm confused - can an iTouch do anything an iPhone can do, except make a phone call?

thanks!

As far as I know there are Apps that won't work on the Ipod Touch that will with the Iphone, and you also cannot use the 3G to use the internet, you have to be attached to WiFi, if you go to Apple.com there is a chart that compares the two I believe.... )

You also can't take pictures with the Touch... no camera.

If you can go with the iPhone, go for it!!! I love it!

I just got an itouch for my birthday yesterday. You can only surf the net on a free wireless or open network, not "everywhere" you get phone service. It does not have a built in camera or microphone so some apps requiring sound input don't work. It plays games, movies, music. I have my facebook (but no flash player yet) and several other free apps (haven't explored enough to purchase any). It's cool, but I would have preferred an iphone for the cost. My cell phone is currently paid for by my work, that's why I got the itouch.

We have an iPod Touch for use as a music/video player, game player (with Apps), and occassionally use it for internet access (with WiFi). As a prior poster noted, you do have to be in range of WiFi connection, you can't get internet "everywhere" with the Touch. We don't need it for phone or camera (primary or only? differences). For us (DH actually), this is EXACTLY what we need. The iPhone added charge for monthly service is substantial and for us wouldn't be the right solution. If however, you are already paying for internet + phone, perhaps the cost difference wouldn't be a big factor for you.

While the model you bought may not have a microphone that is not true of all ipod touches the 32 gig and the 64 gig 3rd generation both have mircophones built in to the headphones.
