i love that the least capable in virtually all regards (the Touch) is the most expensive.

The cost of the Touch is not subsidized by 24 month service contracts.

$360 extra for 2 years if you are upgrading from the old iPhone. Way to gouge the data plan costs to make it seem like they dropped prices

Still a cool phone that will force other phone makers to match it

I'm sure a new (higher capacity) touch will be released to justify it's cost.

You don't use text messaging? Because they are charging $5 for that now So if you were using text, it was free on your last data plan and now is not. Thats where I got the $360 from. HOMEY!
