iPod Touch vs. iPhone?

I am soon going to buy either the Touch or the Phone, and I am trying to decide which would be the best, as I have a couple options. Any suggestions as far as getting the best price and being the most convenient given my situation would be great!

Option 1:

I am currently on a phone plan with Alltel with my mom. My specific contract is up in June, so I can then get a new phone or switch service providers. I also want a Blackberry, which means at this time I could stick with Alltel and get one, then buy an iPod Touch in addition. I live in a town that has no AT&T or Cingular offices within 3-4 hours, so this makes it inconvenient to get an iPhone through these providers, as they are the only ones who offer it now.

Option 2:

I am moving to a city in the fall for school, which means I will have access to AT&T. This way, I could get the iPhone and combine the features of the Blackberry and iPod. I would get reception when I come back here to visit, I just wouldn't be able to visit the office for any reason unless I am at school. The phone plan may also be more expensive than what I am paying now, and we are trying to save money as best as possible.

My question is, cost-wise and convenience-wise, which would be the better option? The iTouch/Blackberry option is good because my phone plan might be cheaper since it is connected with my mom's, and I would still get the features of both. The iPhone option is good because it combines the two into one and the plan could possibly be cheaper, I haven't looked into it.

Thank you SO much for your help, time, and THOUGHTFUL answers!

    it all depends on what blackberry you want to get. But I would go with the iPhone because you can have an iPod and phone in one. And that would be cheaper.
