Ok, I finally got off the snide and purchased a new iPhone - WOOHOO.

I have a little (tiny) bit of buyers remorse. I opted for the 8gig and not the 16. Now my music library is too large to fit in either model but I'm thinking that the 16 might have been a better choice. I was given the option to try this out and I can exchange (plus paying the diff) the 8g for the 16g.

I also own an iPod classic (the 160g flavor) and I envision that I'll use that for the majority of my listening pleasure.

How many iPhone owners here opted for the 16g over the 8 and why. The dude at the att store said most people opt for the 8g unless they want the white version.

My phone appears to be working flawlessly, so I'm a little hesitant to just trade it in but I am thinking the 16 might have been the better choice.

I got the 16GB.

You should definitely get the 16GB, if you still can.

I'm with turtle. I'd also try to get a 16 GB replacement. IMHO the difference in price between the two models is far too small to warrant getting the 8GB model unless you have almost no music and no movies.

[Maflynn]

Thanks for the advice. Perhaps I'll give the ATT store I purchased the iPhone a call today.

While I don't want to be penny wise and pound foolish, after using it for a day (I bought it saturday) I can easily be content and live within the 8gb confines. Yeah, I'll need to use a smaller subset of my music then if I had owned a 16gb but like my original post, I'm only having a tiny bit of buyers remorse. regardless I may give it a shot today, I wonder if the promise he offered was more or less sales puffery to get me to buy the unit.

The reasoning for choosing the 8 over the 16 is was purely economical, If I don't need the the extra 8gb, why spend a c-note.

[Maflynn]

Well I did it.

As you guys put it, for a hundred dollars more, I double the storage. No regrets though I do hate to see 100 dollars fly out my checking account given the amount of money I spent this weekend. In the long run, I think I'll be better off.

Thanks for the advice

I opted for the 32gig white iPhone. Sweet, I love it.

[Simon]

I think that was a good decision. You're locked to the device for at least 12 months — in most countries more. So it's less than $8 per month for twice the storage. I pay that much for a coffee at Starbucks every time I'm in Copenhagen.

Oooh, Copenhagen.... nice place. Been there once, stayed for a day and a half. Really nice place. And yes, the 16 gig iPhone is a better choice. I always end up buying more than I need, just in case the porn starts to add up. Those videos are huge, man.

Without disk access I couldn't (didn't) pay the premium for the space. I'm totally fine with 8Gs.

[Maflynn]

The lack of disk access does not concern me. Its the ability to hold everything I want it to hold, now and the future. With the 8gig model, I found that I nearly filled it up with a subset of my music, never mind movies and tv shows. I don't plan on using it to watch movies all of the time, but when I'm traveling, it would be nice to have a few movies, and my music.
