Yeah, definitely. Listen to music around the clock (although i never need more then 8 gigs cuz i don't keep movies on it), and wanted the option to check the internet or text someone while listening to something all on the same device.
Got a tip for us?

For me, it's all about that convergence. My 3G(never mind the 3GS, lol) does the majority of the things it does, to a such stellar quality, that separate devices, are not needed.
im actually looking into doing the same...but theres no direct way to upgrade to a 32g from a 16g aside from upgrading your AT&T contract i want to avoid that
how do you plan to upgrade if you do so
I still have my iPods, but they largely gather dust except for the largest one which lives in my car connected to power and the sound system. Even at the gym, or when cycling (professional driver on a closed course--do not try this at home) I use only the iPhone and a Bluetooth headset. The sound is great and even with 16G, I can carry all the music and podcasts I want. And in the unlikely event that I ever run out, there is always Pandora, XM, and other audio content apps. Once a week or so I refresh the playlists and update the podcasts. It is helpful to be in situations where you can recharge the iPhone frequently, and I have chargers and stands plugged in and at the ready in most places I am likely to alight, but if you spend a lot of time off the grid, battery capacity could be a reason to carry an iPod.
Let me suggest you spend a couple of weeks with only the iPhone and then see how much you miss having an iPod at hand.

I'm actually still under my 30 days; so switching to 32GB won't be a problem...

Anyone who says the iPhone doesn't have enough storage space is either a certifiable packrat, extremely disorganized/inefficient or just plain lazy.
There are plenty of ways to listen to music over the internet if you happen to not be carrying a particular song on a particular day.
I like Imeem a lot...

I find it drains the battery too much, and I'm fairly wary of keeping the battery in decent condition so I try to avoid charging too much. However, I do use it here and there and find myself using/carrying my ipod much less. OP, maybe you could get a shuffle or something to bridge the gap, if you end up feeling there is a gap at all. 
Yep, one of the key features of the iPhone is it's built-In iPod. I use mine to stream music with SHOUTcast at night and use it at the gym to listen to my music.
Since getting the iphone, my ipod has become an alarm clock. It never leaves my bedroom. If it weren't for getting one of those ipod alarm clocks for xmas, my ipod would get no use.
I recently maxed out my 4GB nano (the 3rd gen, it's filled with music though), and since I'm planning on getting an iPhone soon, I'm probably gonna go with the 16GB. If I have to have it for two years, I'd rather be sure that I can fit everything and more on.
I'll probably use it as my main iPod, but store 750 or so of my favorite songs on the Nano so I don't waste the iPhone battery on long car trips.

This.
My iPhone goes everywhere with me but I keep my 20GB iPod in my car. I'd probably retire it but the transmitter I bought with the iPod is designed to hold it. The phone is a little too wide to fit in the slider so I have to use something to prop it up. Shouldn't be a problem for long though because I'm planning on putting a touch screen head unit with the iPod adapter in my car soon.
That was my original plan but I realized I don't like the iPod app on the iPhone and just the size of it compared to my nano, which also has much better sound quality. That I really can't get over.
Same here. I'm in and out of my office so much, it'd be a pain to have to keep unplugging my iPhone from my speakers, so I still use my nano for music.
Plus, my nano is much more manageable when I'm on the treadmill.
I answered yes, but I'm not happy about it. I got the 32gb iPhone so I could hold most of my music/podcasts and not have to carry both devices. I don't like the iphone (ipod) interface near as much as my ipod. I hate the fact there is no easy way to forward in a song/podcast. Sure you can move the slider (full or 1/2 speed), but it's a PIA while your driving.
Does it not bother anybody else that you have to squint to read the artist/song title on the iPhone/iPod Touch screen? I tried using my phone in my car for a while but this really bothers me.
It seems they're more worried about it being pretty with the gigantic album art in the middle than they are about it being functional.

Yes, my iPhone is my main (and only iPod). That being said i would like to get a Nano eventually just because I kinda miss the click wheel.
