[QUOTE="yeseanul, post: 989009, member: 141882"] Hello, I’m having trouble deciding what should I buy, so I need some advice. I have a budget of max. 500E. Therefore I must choose between: 1. a new iPod touch 8gb (cheaper, but older from a hardware point of view) PRO - cheaper - the warranty CON - 8gb - the hardware is to old (I think from ‘08) 2. a new iPod touch 32gb (more expensive, but in the 400E limit) PRO - 32 gb - the warranty CON - at this point financial point, I can think of a iPhone 3. a used iPhone 3G (around 400E; the new 3GS is not an option, due to the 2 years contract and a used 3GS it’s around 500E) PRO - the camera and the phone CON - it’s 3G (so also from ‘08) - it’s used, so I don’t have the warranty What I intend to use it for (not in a specific order): - listening to music and watching video-podcasts (and even a movie on the go) - reading some documentations and even a lightweight book - agenda, organizer - internet (mail, google, etc.) - using different application and perhaps some games (testing and/or developing) - and if we talk about the iPhone: the phone itself and stretching the camera to its limit - voice recording - etc. The questions I think of: - should I buy a new iPod touch or a used old generation iPhone? - how big/noticeable is the hardware difference between a iPod touch 3gen and a iPhone 3G? - how great is the risk of buying a used iPhone (without a warranty)? - (kind of off topic: what do you think about the saying that “the iPad is just a bigger iPod touch”? … of course having in mind the model without 3G; is it worth 499$?; if the convenience of carrying it into your pocket is not a big deal and is not that important, is it worth buying a iPad in detriment of a iPod touch?) I’m not that impressed/interested with/in the phone function. On the other hand I appreciate the camera very much (maybe if Apple announced yesterday not only the iPad, but also the Ipod touch with a camera, I wouldn’t be in a dilemma). I want to buy something useful. And I intend to buy only one thing (so for the next couple of years I don’t want to buy something else). Anyway, I’m looking forward to you’re advice and suggestions.
