iPod touch IPhone (refurb) instead?!

[acrafton]

So, I was set to get an IPod Touch but given the recent screen issues, and the stripped down software, a refurb IPhone (activated via hack but no phone service) seems like a much better way to go. ..

Pros
Better screen
Speaker (great for kids watching a vid)
Apps (mail, maps, notes, weather, etc. .
Bluetooth
Camera
Can always be turned into a phone
$50 cheaper

Cons
8GB vs 16GB

This seem like a no-brainer?!

It just depends what you want. It may seem like a better deal to get more things, but its only a deal if you actually use those things. If you'll use those things - then by all means, get the iPhone. I don't edit calendar events or need notes enough to warrant a refurb. iPhone so I got a touch - any added utilities I need I can use my laptop or wait for the touch to be hacked.

I'm the guy who started the other thread

As of right now.. and for the past couple days. I'm in the same boat as you. Thinking I might be making the purchase later today.

Heres a link to the other thread for anyone interested:

YES PLEASE POST IN THE OTHER THREAD. IT WOULD BE BEN-I-FISH-UL TO HAVE ONE THREAD WITH THIS DISCUSSION. READ THROUGH THE THREAD FIRST, THEN ADD YOUR THOUGHTS/OPINIONS

I myself made a thread like this like 2 weeks ago. Then there were new threads. And more new threads. On the same topic. So I'm going to be posting/reading the thread linked above, and ONLY that thread.
