iphone 3GS
The data plan is required on all current PDA type devices.
Don't ask stupid questions if you don't want a tough response.
Screw $30/mo for barely over 1mbps speed.
Oh and by the way, if it hurts your feelings, I also tether my Nokia N95 to my laptop WITHOUT paying ATT extra. I know you reps are brainwashed into thinking that smartphones & laptops use more data than regular phones, but internet is is internet is internet, and NOBODY has PROVEN webpages have more data tha...

I"m not a rep, and have no stake in ATT whatsoever. All I'm doing is pointing out facts, unlike your useless rants.
Fact: I never once stated that any browser on one phone uses more data than the same browser on another device.
Fact: Most smartphones (as defined by ATT) use actual HTML web browsers.
Fact: Most non smartphones use limited media net browsers.
Fact: That is why ATT...

Rather than clarify, I guess he wanted to be difficult.
Your with Vrzn, Im with ATT, I don't bash you for being with Vrzn, personal choice, it doesn't hurt my feelings.
Next, You won't like AT&T in this area. The 3G is not even fast. Plus, you live almost in a dead zone for AT&T. In your house, you may pick up one bar but thats it. Verizon is more of a reliable network in AL because it works on almost all these country roads. Plus, you have 3G all over the state. I would get the iPod Touch.
--How is the coverage difference between the two carriers for you in your area? If you know someone with the iphone in your area, see how coverage is with him. You have verizon, so you should have a good handle on their coverage.
--What features are you looking for in a phone? Are you going to use the internet browsing that the iphone provides? If so, make sure you have strong 3g coverage. if you're not, remember, that you'll still be paying $30 a month for that feature.
--Why are you dissatisfied with Verizon?
I have a touch as well, and while I love it as a PDA, it would drive me up the wall with texting.
Beyond that, the two devices are similar.. network coverage is a big issue for that phone. Apple kinda dropped the ball when it comes to the antenna, so you'll want to make sure your area has excellent coverage in order to take full advantage of the iphone.

im not dissatisfied i just know alot of people with an iphone and they love it...I have a ipod touch and i cant keep my hands off it.. thought the iphone 3GS would be the same
Then YES you should absolutely switch!! If you love the iTouch and cant stop playing with it, then the iPhone will be even crazier...You only live once, switch to the phone your excited about
Before I made that leap, I went and bought a $25 Gophone and dialed 611 and kept connected, exploring AT&T's coverage. That'll give you an idea of what kind of service you can expect from the phone.
I found some holes in voice coverage, but they were not deal breakers. So I bought one, and 3G service in Toledo is completely awesome. Speedtest app shows 1.6 megabits downstream, which is twice the speed I see in Detroit.
Is AT&T's coverage as good as Verizons? As if! Not even close, but it's good enough and a welcome trade to use the handset I desire as opposed to one that Verizon wants me to use.
