16GB or 32GB?

[JonboyDC]

Would it be so hard for Apple to increase the storage space to 80GB or maybe 100GB? I love carrying around all of my music on my iPod 80GB.

I really can't see that may people looking to carry a hard-drive-sized phone around with them. (Plus, I wonder what effect the magnetics of the hard-drive would have on cell phone operation?)

If I get one (and I suspect I will in the next few days), it will be 32 GB. My 16 GB 3G is getting close to full (about 1 gig of room left), and it's frustrating to have to constantly edit my media to make sure I don't come close to the line.

How much space does the 3GS video recording take up per minute and/or hour?

I got a 16G - my husband got me the 32G iPod Touch for Xmas, and was pretty peeved that I got an iPhone at all because he said that iTouch would now be pretty much useless (and indeed he was right but I don't have the heart to tell him). Plus, I have a 250GB hard drive FULL of music, so there's no way I can house all my music on either device anyway. I created an iPod Touch playlist and an iPhone playlist, and I just add or delete songs from there depending on what I feel like the day's gonna bring.

I also have a nano - but only a few audiobooks on it, for long commutes in the car. But if I didn't have the iTouch - I would have gotten the 32GB for sure.

I lived with a 4GB original iphone for two years ... once I loaded Pandora, I never needed more space for music. So, I got a 16GB 3Gs because I wanted the faster CPU, but I really don't need the extra storage. Long Live Pandora!!!

If it works for the iPod Classic I don't see why it wouldn't for the iPhone. It's not like iPod Classic users didn't bring their iPod with them all the time as much as a cell phone.

I really need 64GB. Would prefer 128GB then all my music could be lossless. But 32GB will have to do.

Hadouken.....heh that comment was very abrupt.

I bought the 32GB b/c I CAN! I do need the space; and who wouldn't want 32GB v. 16GB for $100 more......

My 16 GB is almost filled and that was after deleting some music. I only have one video (my wedding). So, I'd take the 32 GB in a heart beat, if I was eligible to upgrade. Since I won't be until next August 2010, I'm going to wait for the 4G or whatever they call it. Maybe they'll have an even bigger flash drive.

Got the 32GB strictly for resale value later on.

20.8GB available

I got the 32, but i have 60 gigs of music. So ill have to scale it down to fit

i went with the 32gb... my 16gb was getting pretty full and not knowing how much tomtom will take up 32gb will be nice... although it would be nice to put everything on my phone at once i'll just use simplifymedia as an alternative once they have a 64/128gb iphone i'll get that

 

[MacAndy74]

16GB is more than enough for me right now.
However, maybe the next iPhone I get (whatever comes after the 3GS), I'll likely choose a 32GB.

I got the 16GB because I own 3 other iPod's and the iPhone doesn't work with my indash reciever in my car.

Side note, if white was only offered in 32GB i would've went with that.

I got the 32GB. I have a good amount of music (not HUGE ) but I thought with the VIDEO, and navigation apps, I would want the extra space.

Also I feel like the phone works more smoothly when there's lot's of memory. I had a 16GB 3G, and I wanted to feel like I was really upgrading...
