Seriously, does she have any

I don't have one because my "good reason" is that not even an Apple product can make get into bed with AT&T again. Now that the iPhone is available for Verizon, I may reconsider. But, as a current Verizon customer, I'm not eligible for an upgrade until the end of the year.
I do have an iPod Touch that I love -- but it'd be great not to have to carry both my iPod and my LG phone around.
