Can't decide iPhone 5 or iPod Touch 5?

[John CheN]

Hello Y/A,

AS of right now I'm using a simple multimedia phone with no feature of data plan, just simple call/text phone and I've been looking at the iPod Touch 5th generation, it looks amazing. I have never owned an iPod Touch nor an iPhone. With 300 dollars spare on my hands, I almost bit the bullet and bought the iPod Touch.

My friend stopped me and told me that I should not get an iPod Touch, because of it's lack of ability to SURF the web (check Facebook,etc), and how an iPod Touch is basically just a device of apps/music at most public places. And he insisted that I buy an iPhone.

But with the data plan starting at $30 and locking you for 2 years, I'm wondering if that's really worth it. $200 for the iPhone 5, and 30$/month for 2 years, that's near $1000 total.

Based on your experiences with the iPod Touch or iPhone, which one is really worth it?

Please no other suggestion to android or tablets, as this is my 2 choices, Thank you!
