    wow….the ipod touch and a blackberry bold…. tisk tisk…. go all the way halle….get a damn iphone

    iPod touch? Its look like a 1st gen iPhone…

    Doesn’t look like the back of an iPod touch, unless it’s in an odd ‘iPhone 1′ style case?

    Maybe the book is to help her deal with the phone cord

    i think it is an old iPhone.

    no trust me that is an ipod touch… look at the top left corner…that is the wifi the 1st gen iphone was like bruhed metal, not the li-on battery

    What is that book she’s carrying around? Is she mentally ill? Maybe that is why she has an iPhone? I hate Apple. Obvious troll is obvious.

    In my hand I am holding a 1st gen iPhone, an iPhone 3G and a 1st gen Touch. Halle is holding a 1st gen iPhone upside-down. A 1st gen iPhone is black across the bottom a Touch only has a black corner.
