i have a touche' v4, and auditioned multiple ereaders including the NC before buying a K3.
imo you should decide which single factor is most important to you and base your choice accordingly. if i wanted portability, i would choose the touche'. if i wanted to maximize the ereading experience, i would choose the NC. well actually not, i would choose the K3 but of the two you mentioned my preference for reading would be the NC.
as far as phones, data plans, etc. i elected to get a prepaid tracfone that costs me about $10/month. recently i picked up a verizon MiFi for $35/month that functions as a mobile hot spot. up to 5 users can connect at the same time so my wife can access with her iPad while i access with my laptop or touche'. where i live and where i have traveled, the verizon coverage is much, much better than ATT. this combo is less expensive than a smart phone with data plan and imo much more versatile.
