Hi all, I need some advice. Should I get the 8GB or 16GB?

better to get 16GB
u can put many mp3,video etc...

how much $$$ are u willing to 'BURN" ...??



if u got lots of $$$ then go for 16 G ... simple ... right ..??

plus, if u choose 16GB, u can opt for white colour

give you some hint

i cant even finish the internal 1gb memory on my PDA.
not to mention the 2gb external.....

both are barely 50% full....

jus my 2cents
but it really depends on how u use it....

go for 16gb if u plan to install a lot games/applications and mp3s .

mine 16gb left 6gb+ only... so 8gb definitely not enough for me... and i can have my favourite colour -> white!

iphone is the best phone for now... you can put a lot applications and games inside, from chatting program , games , news, weather , sport , dictionary , and lot of other things... me currently use the 3g 8gb , but now i'm planning to get the 16gb... you'll find that 8gb not suit anymore when you start to love your iphone... cause you'll fill it with a lot lot lot of program... i suggest if you got enough $$ go for 16 gb

Ask urself what U gonna be using it for? If 8GB is going to be sufficient for ur needs then save the $ otherwise get a 16GB.

PS: No one ever complains about having too much space I got myself a 16GB and have about well, 10GB left I think.

instead of asking 8 or 16, might as well ask urself, does the iphone suits u?

@rx330,
iYah.. U know lah kids today.. who's gonna care if the iPhone is befitting or not

iPhone is one of the best..but not the best...just to makesure u don't kena boom from SE,SAMSUNG,NOKIA or other phone models fanboy..

@SurFerZ,
You're right.. it's probably the best 'Entertainment' Gadget but as for phone functions esp for the business people on the go, it might not be the best choice

I think what set iphone apart is its uniqueness, no phone in the current market has ever came close to iphone, and iphone is sorta like a revolution in the mobile phone industry, look, after iphone came out, competitors are trying to bring down the iphone by marketing phones with touch screen ( that relies fully on touch not stylus ) even nokia who isn't really in touch screens has already marketed their own distinctive brand of s60 touch. Say whatever u want, but its the iphone who has really change the mobile industry once and for all.

Sure, functions like bluetooth and gps are severely hindered in the iphone, but that doesn't really impact the really user friendly interface and the smooth mechanism of the iphone.

tinker, not say kids, adults as well

@rx330,
Er.. those are well, big babies!

take the 16GB

me big baby too... cuddle me!! hahahaha
as for the question....,

got loads of $$=buy the 16gb
thinking loads of apps, movies, games and such=go for 16gb
want a white one= go for 16gb

if u say yes to all of the statement above... u should be looking for the 16gb iphone.
if not... u can settle for 8gb only

my 2 baby cent!

The poor joe (pun intended) is more confused now than when he first asked for advice. But it just boils down to one's requirements and what he wants to do with the unit.

hahahaha....

just get wht ever u feel like TS

8gb or 16gb... its ur money.... all we can do is advise..
time to make a decision!!

thanks for all the comment..difficult to make the decision..ergh!

Since you have not mentioned any constraints e.g. money or usage pattern then 16GB. More the better and price difference is acceptable.

if you have the money...go for 16GB!! its like you have 2 8GB iPhone. HAHAHAHAAH

As I heard someone saying before, the iPhone (even at the current time) is at least 5 years ahead in technological advancement compared to any single mobile phone on the planet (including the long-standing Windows Mobile!). This probably explains the reason why no phone so far has come close to the iPhone.

To joejoe_n, if I were you, I'd get the 16GB just because it is white in colour and not because it is 16GB!
otherwise, 8GB would do just fine as 8GB can provide a lot of space already.

true indeed. and people keep acknowledging this by calling some other phones as iphone killer. it's just proof that iphone is
one hell of a device.

16GB is better. In case future the 8gb is not enough for u. Cos u will never know what u will download for it. since so many app can install and music/video/picture... U don need change to 16gb when out of memory.

Currently I'm using a 8GB iPhone 3G and NOW I regretted not getting a 16GB version!!
At first I thought its sufficient for my needs...but now its nearly full!

Hahaha.. if you watch the video presentation on Palm Pre .. they said the phone is 10 years ahead.

But i do agree that when that phone is out it certainly going to beat Iphone

TS, if u bought the iphone just let us know.. Take some Pic with it ya..

TS, go 16GB if I were you.

I totally agree with TeK_KeN. I at first thought of buying an iPod Touch 2G 8GB, because i felt that 16GB would be a waste of memory, but after comparing the price and all, the 16GB model appealed more to me, and now, i'm enjoying myself with it. Used about 6GB and this is just my second week of using it lol.

how much is new 8gb and 16gb iphone?

IMHO, the Palm Pre is hugely based off the iPhone. So I'm not really suprised by it being what it is at all, and I might even be getting one. lol.
After all, it is a marvelous innovation of the iPhone.

then i believe the iPod Touch 32GB would fit your usage even better! lol
i think the key factor is price, rather than the person's actual usage for the size.

you can check LYN garage sales. price different for both sizes are around RM300-400.
