I know somebody who uses their iPod exactly as you mention above - they find wireless, which is everywhere, and do their surfing/apps that way, and for phone they use a cheap trac phone.
I have a Droid 2. It is heavy and bulky, but I've gotten used to it. Work pays $80/month for me to have this phone. I would not spend the money on a data plan otherwise, at least that's my thinking at the moment. It may change when I am faced with losing email and internet access or forking over the money. I use it mainly for work and personal email, and surfing the web for information (which I do more often than I thought I would).
Battery life is Ok on this phone. If I use an app, I reboot the phone to clear it from memory. If I don't, the process runs in the background and the phone gets hot and drains the battery faster.
