I ordered 16gb iPhone 4 because my 3G had 8 and I use about 6-7 gb. I'm now really questioning that decision since the hd video will take up some room and this phone will be with me for 1-2 years. Anyone else buy the 16gb?

I have a canon 5d mark 2 camera that shoots video. 21MP at 1920X1080p for 12 minutes is 4 gigs. So the iPhone should be a fraction of that which makes me feel better!
 
I did same as you. I had a 8 GB and I used 4 GB in worst cases so I thought 16 will be more than enough and if you stock with large video files, you can always upload them to your computer

I went with the 32 specifically for video, I don't anticipate needing to use it all but you never know, I also thought apps might start getting larger and I figured the phone would last me longer if I got the larger capacity. I am still using a first generation iphone with 4GB and have not had space issues, so this will be a big jump for me.
