I assume you're only comparing it to other apple products. There are a number of phones that have much larger screens (4.3 htc inches vs 3.6 iphone). There is also a phone that has dual screens (kyocera).

So I've always wanted to ask someone this but never could find someone to ask. Why do people still buy MP3 players?

Phones can do the same job, and you only need to carry one device instead of two.

I'm an Android user since day one so no interest in the iPhone5, but wanted to ask I stream over 10k songs with Google Music. The stuff I frequently listen to I just "pin" so I don't need to use battery streaming.

I'm still using an old flip phone...

long do for an upgrade, but that phone doesnt owe me anything, and the $48.00/mo plan works well for me.

I will probably by the 5 once it comes out and places have it in stock.

Man,

I do!

I run between 15 and 20K's a day.
You don't want to hold a phone, nor have to stash it somewhere to carry.
The micro ipods are great, though can be a little shitty with volume control changing after getting charged. I wear headphones that don't have a volume control and I'm always forgetting to adjust the violume after a charge.

The Ipod Nano's are the best medium, easy to clip, lightweight and let you have more control...
If your pounding out K's on a treadmill, than an iPhone can work, but too many things like email, facebook, sms calls can be disrupting.

Agreed. I don't run nearly as many miles as you but an iPhone is too heavy. I have an arm band for my iP4 but it still bounces around due to the weight. My Nano on the other hand is not even noticeable. And I run on trails a lot. If I take a spill (and I do occasionally) I'd rather trash a Nano than my iPhone.

while i love my blackberry and still have it as my work phone, the BB torch 9850 is the biggest POS since the storm. Actually it may actually be worse than the Storm. The new Bold touch 9930 however is amazing.
