4gb or 8 gb?

[buymeaniphone]

It seems like such a good deal to only pay $100 extra for double the capacity but then theres the fact that IT COSTS $500. How many are actually going to pay $600 for the 8 gb? I think I could be satisfied with the 4 gb, I only have 1 gb on my treo, and includes 2 full movies and a handful of songs

Really? I thought it was a ripoff seeing as how that's ALL you get. If there was some extra functionality included, then I can justify the spread in price, but seeing as how the difference b/w 4gig and 8gig nanos are only $50 it seems a little too expensive. With that being said, I'll probably still spring for the 8gig just b/c I know I'm going to want to keep a decent amount of music,photos, and videos on at once, so the more space the merrier. I was reading the other day that flash prices were falling rapidly so maybe Apple can up the capacity a little more before launch? A spread of 8gigs and 16gigs would be sweet!

I would pay extra for 8gb. I would want to make sure I can get all my music on it.

I figure, I am already paying $500, why not go $600.

exactly. with the $500 and $600 price points being "only" $100 apart, the thought of buying a 4gb iphone never crossed my mind. i'm still wondering whether to buy at all, however, as my slvr works just fine.

Whenever I imagine myself buying an iPhone I alsways plan on spending $600 for the 8GB. If I'm going to save up that much money $100 more isn't that big of a deal.

I'll be buying the 8Gb iPhone, but hopefully it will be upgrade to 16Gbs...either way Apple had the the minute the said "iPhone"

8 GB for me as well. The extra $100 isn't that much honestly. My hopes are either that Apple will up the memory before release time or that some 3rd party will figure out how to put upgrades in.

 

[clevin]

depends if u wanna use this as an iPod, if not, 8G is a waste.
just answer yourself
Will you buy another iPod once you own this iPhone thing?

I'm going for 8 gigs for the breathing room. I've got an old 2G 20gig now that's got about 10 gigs of my library on it with no video at all. If they'd double the ram to 8/16 at launch my reservations would fall by the wayside.

As toneloco2881 pointed out, I can't justify $100 for extra 4GB when 8GB iPod nano costs $50 more than 4GB iPod nano. Unless 8GB iPhone includes bonus, like Bluetooth headset or nicer case, I will be getting the 4GB iPhone. Besides, 8GB is too small for my music collection. I will store just a couple of videos for my daily train commute.

8 gigs for me.

Kinda annoying though. Really should be 16 gigs given all of the content you want to put on it.

That would be awesome is Apple has a little surprise in June with a memory bump.

$100 more for twice the phone...

Sure! Why not?

You can store twice as many movies and mp3s on a 8gb iPhone than a 4gb one, and that's pretty much the only good use for these phones that doesn't cost you money.

I am sure that's what will end up happening. The same way they announced 1.67ghz and 1.83ghz Macbook Pros, wait for people to preorder them, and then give them free speed bumps. Or perhaps Apple will sell the iPhones with 4gb and 8gb of storage listed, then sell unlock codes for $50.
