Asking for some honest input or advice...

...OK, so this Christmas I got an iPad and returned it. Then went back to the Apple store and got an ipod touch..., but returned that (yeah I know [head held in shame]...I am sure the geniuses at apple were thrilled with me). Reasoning: I want a one-stop-shop to email, text, make calls, and listen to music...nothing else. Well, OK do some internet browsing as well. So back in the Apple store I was contemplating switching to AT&T in order to get an iPhone (contract has been up with v-people for some time), but there was the talk of iPhone coming out with v-people and the AT&T coverage was an issue. I held off and decided to wait for this iPhone release that is happening tomorrow. But now...?

I have been using a hand-me-down...ughum, blackberry (said quietly) and it gets the job done, but its a blackberry and not that user-friendly with a mac...and its a blackberry.

Given this (my usage and desires in a phone), what would you do?

Thanks in advance for any input or advice you can lend...especially to a n00b on the forum.

In about 4 months the brand new iPhone will be released. I suggest you wait it out and enjoy the new iPhone if you'll be downloading apps as well.
If you don't care, then go for the iPhone 4.
