Assuming you are asking if you can use an existing iTunes account that you use for your iPod then the answer is yes.

When you plug the phone into your computer and open iTunes then iTunes will automatically recognise the phone as a new device and give you the option to set it up as a new phone or from an exisiting backup. Select 'new phone' and follow the prompts.

When it is set up it is simple enough to synch the phone with all of the music and other content on your iPod.

Hi Visi,

I can see that Kids has answered this one for us and is spot on.

Cheers for the help here. ;)
