I think my ipod touch 2g is very similar to the iphone 3g - so this is semi-fair comparison.

In all fairness, I *like* the ipod touch. It's my grab device in the mornings to check my emails/ browse the web/etc using wifi. The larger screen really makes a difference here. I do like to multi-task though, which is something the iphone obviously can't really do - but at least the apps load fast, and most games/etc save your place when you exit.

The iphone 3gs looks like a great phone.. But I'll never get one. Why? AT&T.

nation's fastest 3g network? Yeah, right. Have you ever tried calling someone on an AT&T iphone? Half the time it goes straight to voicemail. And I can't remember the last time my sprint phone dropped a call. I travel to client sites all the time, and 7 times out of 10 my peers don't have reception on at&t indoors but I do on sprint. I also have a sprint broadband card.. same story.. I had to set my laptop up as an adhoc wifi network using my sprint broadband two weeks back in chicago because my coworkers on that project had at&t broadband cards.. and couldn't get a decent signal. (client site, so we couldn't use their network)

I think sprint's the most under-rated provider out there, and they happen to be among the cheapest.. If sprint had the iphone, I might actually switch (over the pre or touch pro / touch pro2..) - heck, I've already paid for half of the decent apps on my ipod touch 2g.. - but AT&T will never get me as a customer. Not until they significantly change their network and pricing anyways.
