3 more advantages for the classic no one talks about:
You can upload songs from any computer,
Use it as a drive
Listen to music from it on any computer.(because it's a hard drive, not solid state drive)

Yeah, wait for the apple presentation and then get the (new?) touch. Hopefully they'll put a camera in it now. All the fun of an iPhone without the annoying calls.

not really, raf, with an ipad you can sign up for cellular when you need it, for $25 a month
- I don't care about the phone aspectRand
- But this is what iPod Touch is: iPhone without cellular radio. And you can have iPhone with or w/o plan as well.raf
- you can sign up for a month of cellular data without a phone plan for $25?Rand
- ipod touch doesn't offer 3g when there's no wifiRand
- don't play dumb with me, young man!Rand
- In the US? No. I get your point, but a device between iPhone and iPod Touch is not going to happen.raf
- They're very close as they are, would not make sense to confuse client further – but I've been wrong before.raf
- that's the whole reason i got an ipad... i didn't want a smart phone, wanted to go online in the car, etcRand
- That's still iPhone. Outside US you can get the handset and a data-only plan. Not price-effective that.raf

they should sell the iphone, but with no service plans, just so you can use it to listen to music or maybe surf using wifi when available
- Rand0
they should sell the touch with a monthly data option like iPad
- Congratulations, you just invented the iPhoneraf

<- (iPod Touch owner, glad he didn't get the iPhone)
I'm very happy with my iPod Touch. Once you discover the ability to carry a few movies with you on the plane, and other entertainment like games, apps, and as has been mentioned above, great streaming radio apps and programs - the touch is a much better buy. But I'd also wait to see what Apple's got up it's sleeve in a few weeks.

^yeh i imagine a lot of itouch owners wish they got an iphone.

I have both and only use the old one as a removable drive once every couple of months. The only reason I didn't ebay it yet was I was thinking of using it as a car player someday.
Definitely iPod Touch and you'll still regret you didn't go all the way and didn't get the iPhone.

id say a touch,
if you need more than 32GB of music on a single device id be surprised, maybe consider slimming down your collections (for the device not your whole collection).160gb would be great if you're traveling for months.
plus the games and wifi and all the good apps for the itouch.

neither right now, wait until after the apple event that is coming up in a few days, it's been predicted that they are releasing new iPod Touches and new Nano's!

get iPod touch. You will have access to Pandora or Last.fm or other your favorite music radio through wi-fi. There are also some kick-ass music related apps that you won't be able to enjoy on iPod classic.

I had an 80GB classic that i absolutely loved. Though i felt it never had enough room as i also used it as a small storage device which came in very handy at times. It broke recently, and I'm keen on upgrading to another classic.

lol, I use an 8GB iPhone as my portable music player and it seems like more than enough.
I think the 160 would be mainly if you intend to watch movies/ TV on it.
- Atkinson0
The classic will weigh a lot more especially when full, 160GB is kinda heavy.
- lol, wtf!?!?monospaced
- Worse than the laptop thread on how large a 17" version is.CyBrain

How much music do you really need to have at a moment's notice? 32gb is a lot and you get so much more functionality with the touch.
