This is an age-old topic, but I believe that Apple products are maybe a little pricey, but the quality and innovation they put into their new mobile devices is unparalleled. The original iPods were of very high quality IMO; I still use a 30GB 5th gen. The iPhone and the Touch are absolutely amazing. How long has the iPhone been out, and what can you say out there is honestly as well-designed and handy for real-life situations as it is? Unfortunately, I'm not on AT&T's network (get a big discount for working for a telco); I'm waiting on an Android-based phone for my network.
