I use my iPod Touch pretty much the way my husband uses his iPhone, without the monthly charges. Plenty of places have wifi nowadays, so the lack of 3G isn't a big deal for me. I'm able to text back and forth to my husband using Messages on my Touch as though it was a phone. I use it during the day where I have wifi to read email and check the weather forecast and chat on IRC and search/surf the web and all that jazz, but mostly I bought it for listening to audiobooks and reading library books.

I didn't have a cell phone or an MP3 player, so the iPod Touch was perfect for me, covering both needs. Since you already have a smartphone, I'm not sure the Touch is going to be much use for you.
