Depends on individual needs. Bear in mind, the available space for 8gb for storage and applications are 7.1gb only, the rest occupied by the OS. If you're a lite to medium multimedia user, go for 8gb, else 16gb will be a good buy, not to mention the White casing is cool.

I am using 8gb now, I have less than 10 albums, some free AppStore games and picture album, I have about 6gb++ left. Have yet to load in movies which I think will take about 3gb, so I have 3gb to spare, it's not too bad then for 8gb.

If I get the 16gb, I will go for white too until I read this:

Pls check yrs if you hv this problem.

But if you can afford 16gb, go for it as I've got only 2.5G left now out of my 8gb with lotsa albums and only 2 movies.

I used a 10X magnifier tool used by watch technician to check my black 3G case, so far, no cracks. I checked under very very bright sunlight. U use a normal magnifine glass and try checking yrself.

different batch of fones from different regions might have different batch of LCDs from different vendors.... but then, if yr using the unit alone (not comparing to others), u can't feel the difference...
