Replacement MP3 or phone for an iPod Touch 4G?

Recently my iPod Touch (Fourth Generation 64GB) stopped working. I filed a claim with my insurance and they are going to give me a check refunding the purchase. I now have roughly $400 dollars to spend on a new MP3 player and I am starting to lose faith in Apple Inc.

Does anyone know of another well rounded MP3 player or cell phone (I use Verizon) similar to an iPod Touch? I know there are other companies out than Apple but I don’t know much about them. If you have a suggestion could you give a comparison of Apple and your product?
