    I saw the thread title and was about to delete it as spam. I bet a lot of others might think it is too as that a common thread title for the spammers that leave a long list of electronics they have for sale.

    I'm going to change it to make it look less spammy.

    Doh! I didn't even think about that perspective, Nathan.

    Thank you so much for editing the title. :biggrin5:

    I got the iPhone 4 with 8GB. Only $99.00 and it does all I could want it to do. Of course I don't use it to store my pictures or my music, so if you do that then you need way more GB's.

    I have a 16GB I don't store music on mine (thats what my 80GB Ipod is for) but I do have quite a few pictures. Even with all the photos I have (300 or so atm) I still have 10gigs available. Not sure where you're located but in my area verizon seems to have a better signal than AT&T (what I use).

    32 GB, holds all my music. AT&T's call and surf at the same time is useful maybe once every couple months, and even then it's not critical.

    I have a 16 GB, and have 1200 songs (Pandora radio makes up for the rest of my listening), 135 apps (some are large games), 4 episodes of Cosmos, and almost a gig free for photos and movies I might want to take. I do often use it for photos, and have never run out of space.

    I do use Internet services while on the phone from time to time, but not so often that I'd really miss it. Besides, when I do, I'm usually on a wifi network, which a Verizon phone can do perfectly well. My only loyalty to AT&T is My grandfathered unlimited data plan, which honestly I never really need. I just like having it.

    Where the "talk and use data" bit is really useful, is if you use the phone as a GPS navigator. This is something I occasionally do, but your mileage may vary.

    I got the 16gb and it holds my podcasts and favorite playlists. Like someone said above, the 80gb ipod holds the entire music collection and usually rides in the glove box.

    I've got 30-40 apps installed a 2100+ pics and the bits of music installed... maybe a few videos from when I first started playing with the iPhone. If you wanna use it for video, go with the bigger one. I almost always play music from Pandora while on the phone , so no massive storage needed.
