Thanks, Sven, for your input. You're right, my final decision would be based upon my preferences and what my use-habits are. And you bring up some good points, one being that there are very few WM classics around anymore. I can't afford to go to a WM smartphone because I can't afford the 'mandatory' charge of $25 extra per month that Verizon would charge me just because I would have the ability to access the Internet (even though I wouldn't. But that's a different rant.).
Rarely have I had more than one app open at a time, so I probably wouldn't mind the one-app-at-a-time limitation. And out of a total of approx 3.5 GB of available memory, I have almost 2 GB left; so the 8 GB would probably be sufficient.
Besides using Informant 2007's Contacts and Calendar, the programs I've used quite often are the following:
MSExcel (including using formulas), MSWord, Notes,
a password manager, three different ebook readers, SPB Backup, Freecell, and a clock program. Occasionally, I'll sync up with my laptop using ActiveSync, and occasionally, I'll connect to the Internet using Wifi (but I've never been able to view videos from youtube on it).
Based upon that, would a Touch 2nd or 3rd Gen be sufficient for me?
I really hope I'm not coming across as someone who's trying to convince himself (or his wife  ) that he needs a Touch. I would just like to upgrade my ppc (are there better ones out there?) but the prices for them are higher than the Touch. I'm surprised whenever I see that the model I have (hx2495) is still over $200.
