I am young, my parents are divorcing and I now have to take over my cell phone bill. The dilemmna? I do media-related work which I "need" my iPhone for but can't afford the price. I am wondering, outside of the cell service and stable internet, is there any real difference between iPod Touch 5 and the iPhone [I currently have the iPhone 4]?
Secondly, what is the absolutely cheapest cell monthly provider / smartphone? I heard that T-Mobile was going to offer the iPhone upfront and for $30/month unlimited internet access, unlimited text and 100 minutes free. Do they currently have that plan and if not is there a similar cheap smart phone plan offered anywhere in the market?
For a single person, the cheapest post-paid iphone provider is Sprint. There are prepaid options but I haven't looked into their pricing model recently.
Here are Sprint' EPRP's prices. The $10/month premium data option is required for smartphones.
1. Outside of the cell phone service a stable internet connection is there any real difference between the iPhone vs the latest iPod Touch?
2. What is the cheapest cell phone provider for a smartphone (I am not talking iPhone but any smartphone)?
3. Is it true T-Mobile is going to offer the iPhone at full price with a monthly rate of $30/month including unlimited web, unlimited text and 100 free minutes?

2. This is not a simple question to answer. The cheapest cell phone provider varies on what services you want. In terms of postpaid subsidized smartphone plans, Sprint is the cheapest as long as you don't want unlimited minutes. If you want unlimited minutes, than T-Mobile is the cheapest. If you're going to keep your phone for longer than two years, then you can take advantage of T-Mobile's un-subsidized (what #3 eludes to) plans which will end up being cheaper in the longrun (albeit with an enormous charge up front). Someone else will have to chime in for prepaid providers as I'm not familiar with them.
3. This is true and is expected to arrive Spring-Summer. The monthly rate for the iPhone is not confirmed, however.
Have you tried Virgin Mobile? $30/month if you use a credit card.
