You clearly didn't get my meaning.  Its an iPod 4G.  Its the phone without built in calling.  If you were to refer to my earlier post, you can see that using the iPod as a phone isn't difficult, and with 4G replace wifi with the 3G/4G network and you have a phone.

My iPod Touch 2G is pretty sad nowadays, struggling to run even the 4.0 firmware update. Guess that's what happens on 2 year old portable hardware though.

I still can't wait for my Nexus One to arrive from Norway, so I can replace my iPod Touch.

iPod Touches do not have 4G network access. Also, you don't have Wi-Fi everywhere you go, and even if you can detect Wi-Fi networks around you, it's highly unlikely that you'll be able to connect to them because the majority of them are either passworded or require a payment/subscription, or both. The iPod Touch 4th gen is not "an iPhone without the phone." Sure, you can call with it. Sure, you can text with it. But for one, you need apps that can call and text, such as Skype and TextFree, and secondly, you cannot do those things unless you have Wi-Fi, which is rarely available at any place besides your own home.

Calling and texting makes the phone, and I have access to wifi in most places I am at (Friend's house, school, etc.)
It's a phone.


Also, you can't right click.

Yeah, you actually can; tap and hold.

Lol I hate people that think wifi is any bit similar to a phone service.

Wifi isn't portable, because you can't use any networks but your own at home.
