For me the phone is a big money saver, I travel a lot and can always be reached via IM and/or e-mail. But I rarely go over the minimum data usage.
I haven't used a separate MP3 device since the old Palm Treo 270 in 2002 or so.

I don't need the phone part; especially since that part is so expensive compared to an iPod touch.
Everyone's different and my needs are met by carrying a small flip phone in the front pocket of my jeans. It does the two things I need most - phone calls and texting.
The only other gadget I carry is my Sansa Clip+ and that either clips to my shirt or gets stuffed inside the coin pocket of my jeans. It provides me with more than enough entertainment - music, audiobooks, podcasts, and FM radio. It's so small and lightweight, I don't even notice it unless I'm using it.
Short stays away from home will see me adding an iPod touch for net access and entertainment; and a camera. For longer trips, I might consider adding a tablet or a netbook; depending on the nature of the trip. My Kindle? Rarely will it leave home.
