I'd get one. The fact that so many of my external devices connect to an iPod, I would use the touch dedicated to that as I don't like to have my phone connected to everything.
There are reasons to have both. One is to not drain the phone battery as fast. It's all personal preference as well as the ability to carry both and the funds to support buying excess equipment.
Honestly, Its a waste of time. Your much better off picking up something like the new nexus 7 for the same price as the 5th gen ipod touch without the camera.
No, I'd much rather spend my money on something else, or save it. Then buying a $300 iPod Touch while still owning an iPhone 5.
I do, but only because I got it before an iPhone.
I use it for mobile music production mostly and that's because I'll keep it till the battery dies.
Otherwise I see no point, unless you like throwing away money or you're rich. There is really no point on having both as the iPhone outperforms the iPod touch and does the same and more.
Unless of course you had an iPhone 3G and wanted an iPod Touch 5 because you want the latest iOS and so on.. but I think that's not the intended outcome for your question.
I would get the iPod Nano instead...you could listen to music, connect it to a dock or just use it for the radio - something the iPod Touch & the iPhone lack.
thanks for all your guys reply btw. and mathbunny i know what you mean. i do love the iphone in general. (dont own the 5 yet, my bro does. butc im waiting for 5s) but the thing i truelly hate (and i do mean it) that it wont go and include an fm radio
. the are willing to make such and expensve Phone and they couldnt include THAT in its design... (get on his knees and shakes fists in the air) JJJOOOBBBSSS!!!! 
You tell me!but the thing i truelly hate (and i do mean it) that it wont go and include an fm radio
I'm about to order some cheapo chinese usb-FM radio thingy because I'm always in need of one.
Who knows if someday they'll include one. But perhaps they'll go on their way to say "use internet radio". But of course, this is going totally off-topic here
well duh, but know i run maintance for a mayor university here in europe and know. the almost 90% of the time im so deep in the building im nev er having a stable connection... and there no way they give us guys an wifi connection to use unlimited with interNet radio and such... i like using tunein and such things. never tried spotify. but thry dont offer an free "ad" version. i wouldnt mind that... im deaf to the commercials anyways...You tell me!

EXACTLY...but hey, it's Apple. They make weird choices sometimes.
I think it's a waste of money. If I needed another iPod for whatever reason, I'd get a used or refurbished Nano.
Now i want to get rid of both and buy blackberry to use with My Ipad.
Iphone email is an abomination.

Well, I use all of my devices and I have 4 iPhone 4's, one a 4s, and I have around 20 iPod Touches, a shuffle, a nano, along with an iPad. Macbook is next.
But of course, since I fix/sell them, it all makes sense. lol
