In my humble opinion, you already have most of the BEST parts of an iPhone with your iPod Touch. Its multimedia features are best-in-class, the screen is superb, etc. Why do you want the iPhone? Most reports are that the phone part of the iPhone is mediocre at best, this is born out by colleagues of mine, who often find themselves with "no reception" when my Curve (also on AT&T) is working just fine - and the audio quality of the phone is reported to be marginal too. The iPhone does many things wonderfully - being a phone isn't one of them. I also agree with those who say carrying two devices is a PITA. I first and foremost want a PHONE and EMAIL. The multimedia and web browsing on the Curve aren't iPhone class, but they're "good enough" to keep me from carrying an iPod or other device. Convergence - less devices, not more!
