Do I need an AT&T plan to use my other phone features?

[Dot]

I was wondering, the new 3G iPhone is coming out soon and its cheaper than the ipod touch. I basically wanted an ipod touch because it didnt have phone service. BUT if i get the 3G iPhone am i going to be FORCED to sign a contract with AT&T?

I just want to use it for music, internet, calender, and all the other things that are on there.

Also, Do you need phone service to use the internet? Or just a wifi connection?

Thanks.

If you wait I'm sure the prices will drop for the ipod touch. There not going to sell it for more than something else with more features.

Well now that i think about it, i can spare the $69.99 phone plan because all that still comes with unlimted email, internet, visual voicemail and all that stuff (if i'm reading it right)

In that case, does the ipod touch get internet and email?

Nevermind it does get internet
A little research never her nobody.

Hmmmm, i might just wait till that price drops then, or try to bargain a used one for like $170 if i can.
