The Touch is so nice in your hand. Phones would feel like absolute giants compared to a Touch. I agree. When my square 8gb Nano got stolen I considered a big capacity Ipod to replace it until I checked out a coworker’s Touch. Of all my toys, I think I would be most pissed if I lost my Touch. I’m even of the (probably) small minority who would buy a 128gb Touch if they ever came out with one. ---

They are the best parts of an iPhone missing only the worst part of an iPhone (the phone). The problem with using a phone to do an iPod’s job is that the phone may interfere at any time when some knucklehead calls, inturupting the music. Airplane mode fixes that, but disables the bluetooth and Wi-Fi also. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/good-alternatives-to-ipod-touch/699112.md?page=1)
