I have read the other threads, but they don't have what I am looking for.
Here's the situation. I currently have a Nokia 3595. I have had it for years, and it has worked well. However, I think I am finally ready to retire it and join the new century. I am thinking about getting one of the new 3GS Iphones. I don't expect to go crazy getting different apps. Do I need the 32 or will the 16 suffice? It looks like until this upgrade 16 was their top of the line. Feel free to mock my phone ignorance as long as you provide some helpful info as well. |

It depends on what you plan on using it for. I have a 16G. I travel around 25%. It is nice to have movies as well as music to make plane rides less boring. If I could, I would get 32G for the additional space. But if you are not travelling, and do not plan on watching alot of video, then a 8 or 16 should suit you fine. FWIW, it is hands down the best phone/pda device I have ever used. |
Better data plans and better operating system/user interface.

I've got a 16gig 3G. I have about 300 pics, 275 songs, several podcasts, a few short range video's, and a decent amount of apps. One of the apps (G-maps West) is around 900 megs by itself. I run about 6.5gigs of free space at any given time.
A couple of things need to be mentioned in regards to iPhone memory. 1. The amount of data on the device will always be in flux, depending on how often and what you sync. For example, iTunes will automatically put every song and podcast you have stored in your library along with the playlist arrangments on you phone with the first sync. On the other hand, iTunes will automatically remove already-listened-to podcasts from your iphone (the next time you sync) to conserve hardrive space. 2. Many users end up using the device a lot more than they thought they would. As an example, I had never purchased any sort ofsmart phone before my iPhone. Email was therefore something I checked maybe once a month, and rarely used for anything. Now I use it all the time. It's just so easy! And don't forget that software is what sells the iPhone. Not it's cool multi-touch/accelerometer doothingy. Having a little more space than you think you'll need may not be such a bad thing. |
