Should I buy an iphone?

I recently had a creative mp3 player... that I lost. So no mp3 player for me.
I recently got a thing in the mail from ATT saying that I can upgrade my phone with no upgrade fee, because I've completed the necessary amount of time on my contract.
The iphone looks so damn appealing, the touch keyboard kinda bugs me... but I really need a new phone and I hate this crappy RAZR thing, and I miss having an mp3 player.
Downsides: The damn thing is 500 flippin dollars, and I will look like your run of the mill sheeple running around with that phone. I might be ashamed to use it in public, because it's obviously too damn cool for me.
What would you fellows do in my situation?
Suck it up buy the iphone?
Or buy a new mp3 player, and get a regular phone upgrade probably blackjack or some samsung bs phone.
I check mp3 players at Frys today, and most of them totally sux0rz. I looked at ipods and honestly if I'm going to get an ipod I'll just toss out the few extra bucks to get my mp3 player and phone in one piece of hardware.
Thoughts...?

Get a regular phone - most have MP3 abilities, and they won't cost you $500.

It looks like you're all trying to prevent me from being another apple tool.
Can anyone recommend a good AT&T phone, and a good mp3 player for me? I need something that works great, and is of reasonable price. I could get a blackjack 2 with 49 dollar out of pocket expense. Think it's worth it?
How about mp3 players? Any recommendations?
Anyone wanna play devil's advocate and recommend the iphone?

I'm trying to prevent you from spending a large amount of money when it's not necessary. As for a good MP3 player, an iPod or the Creative Zen will do well.

look into archos. i can't recommend them enough.
they beat ipods on the video scene by a few years, and were the first ever harddrive based players
their products have only gotten even more awesome in time

Money is relative.
Get an iPhone if you want one. I have one and it's the best phone i have ever had. Buying a phone and a separate mp3 player is kind of pointless now days, why not opt for the convenience?
From, what i can tell, if people don't get the iPhone with AT&T they get that red black berry. But its a peace of shit... (Compared to the iphone anyway)
