situation #1: i have the 1st generation 30GB video ipod(when it first came out 3 years ago for christmas) and i finally decided that i need a new ipod and im considering the 32GB ipod touch.

situation #2: i NEED a new phone. i swear, the only reason i havent smashed this thing to bits it's cuz it's my only phone. It's a DUO phone from Pantech, i should've read the reviews first so i could've realized it was trash. the reason i hate it is because for some reason it stopped letting me delete stuff after some time. i have texts from january that it will not let me delete. i clean out my inbox and outbox and as soon as i turn my phone off and then back on, they all come back so there's no point. i cant see my missed calls since it can no longer store data so if i get a missed call, i have to call people to see who it was. i cant even set my phone to vibrate or silent so i have to turn it off whenever im at work. my gf already told me she's gonna get me an iphone 3G($100) in january and my first thought was that i can use it as an ipod as well so i dont have to get a new ipod. of course my first concern is, will the iphone have enough memory for all my music(over 8GBs)? i saw that the 16GB is $150 right now so i could simply pay the extra $50 and the tax but that's for "new and qualified" customers so i dont know if im one of those "qualified" customers yet. another concern is, idk how fast the battery will drain if listen to my music on the iphone resulting me in charging the battery on a regular/daily basis.




bottom line, should i just get the iphone with more memory and see how it goes with the battery and other things, or should i just get the regular iphone and also get an ipod touch to separate my phone stuff from my music?
