Very few products have gotten the advance publicity that the Apple iPhone has gotten since it was announced in January. Available on June 29th, exclusively through AT&T, the iPhone does offer some innovative features, most notably a touchscreen keyboard. For those consumers looking for a converged cell phone and music player, where price is no object and the music player has to be a full-featured iPod, the iPhone is going to be the only game in town.

What about those of us who don't want to spend $400 for a music phone? There are a number of alternatives worth considering. You can't download iTunes to these phones, but you'll save enough to buy a super-slim iPod Nano with the same memory as the iPhone plus have enough left over to buy hundreds of songs from the iTunes store!
