TP, just get some bluetooth wireless headphones and attach the TP to your hip in the case. That's what I do when not on the treadmill.

if your like me and just use the shorts that have strings you can tie at the front you will have no worry about this thing in your pocket. i do all sorts of work outs this thing in my pocket from squats to curls and every muscle in between and love listening to the better sound quality of this phone over the touch.

Are any of you using the case that came with the Touch Pro to clip the phone to your shorts?

I personally use a separate mp3 player because I am paranoid I will damage my phone. Bump a weight against it, drop it somehow, etc.

Regarding weight, its very light, so it should be fine.

+1

I still use my iPod Video 30GB and just recently picked up a super small SanDisk 2GB with built in FM receiver and clip (use that for cardio when I'm watching TV).

I still however have my TP with me, but it stays in safe places depending on what I'm doing at the gym. I definitely don't keep it in my pocket though.

At this point, I am leaning towards having both. Couple of reasons..

Touch is smaller and lighter.... Primary function is to play music...

Don't want to damage TP in pocket with weights...

Lots of Ipod accessories.. I can probably get a nice arm band holder or something

Pandora on Ipod Touch

Can use as second device... or even use TP as wireless wifi router

Battery life... If I drain the ipod.. at least I can still make phone calls.

Can use normal headphones..

New and different apps (like google earth) on touch...

I know I could just buy an Iphone... and have just 1 device... BUT... I really want the keyboard of the TP.. and I don't want to leave sprint to chase an Iphone.... Mostly the ipod would be just for working out... or doing work around the house.

The Touch Pro has better sound than an Ipod does?

Also.. in your description of how you mount your TP.. is it right on the waist band.. kind of like a belt buckle? In the stock case?
