Is the iPhone right for me?

Question

Hey, I think i've already convinced myself that I want an iPhone, but theres a few queries that I have, and if anyone can help, it'd be much appreciated.
First and formost, I want the iPhone because its a phone & iPod in one device - currently I have a Nokia N95 and i hate the music player on that so I have an iPod Nano... but thats full!
So this is what triggered off wanting an iPhone
But:
* Whats the iPod player like, is it still simple and easy to navigate around (i've never used an iTouch so not at all sure what it'll be like to use a 'touch' interface)
* Also, when your in a call on the iPhone is the speaker loud enough? My Nokia N95 is perfect as its clear both on loudspeaker and in handset mode. I used to ahve a Samsung U900 Soul and found it hard to hear - hence why I change to Nokia N95
* Also which colour do i choose (i'll be opting for a 16Gb version if i go ahead with one) Black looks sleek, but the white makes more of a statement, so im going to base my decision on which one hides the scratches better... Im gathering the White one would be best?
*Talking of scrtaches, does the screen resist scracthes or should I look for some sort of case or sock?
Currently I have 12 months of my Orange contract left, so I know its a bit premature to be looking for a new Phone, but does anyone know if iPhone is going to stay exclusivly with O2?
Any light shed is much appreciated! Thanks.

It works the same way the iPod software works on other iPod devices. It just doesn't have a wheel, you finger flick instead.

It depends on your hearing. I find the speaker loud enough for my needs.

The screen is glass and it can scratch. If you're rough on electronics a case and screen protector are good ideas.

No one here knows what the future plans are and we're not allowed to speculate.
