How much space do you really get ?

[TheBrazilianGuy]

When you buy an iPhone, let's say, 8Gb model, how much space do you really get ?

I am trying to figure it out whether or not an 8Gb model will fit my songs, videos and PDFs and future applications out of SDK. Currently I have 4Gb of stuff altogether (by the way, I heavily use gmail. Is any email saved on the iPhone at all ? Hopefully not )

I would love to get a more expensive model but I would rather buy something that will do the work in the next two years.

Thanks for the help !

With the 1.1.4 firmware i get 7.3GB. If you're not planning to upgrade to a 3G version later then yes spending the extra $100 on a 16GB is well worth it.

Thanks, Mike. That's what I was looking for.
Having more space always helps but I know as a personal fact that there is never a limit.
