Yea, I totally disagree with K-luv. Most people use it as an iTouch? No.
5 people at work have an iPhone. Not one has even one video on it. 2 may have a few songs but not much.
Most people I would guess use it for apps and texting. The enthusiast is the one that needs a 32 or 64.
I would guess based on personal experience maybe HALF of iPhone users have more then 2 GB of music & videos on the iPhone.
Not to even mention even if you did have a dozen movies on your device... do you need to carry those around ALL THE TIME? No. And the way iTUnes can shuffle music onto your device even if you have 16 gb on your phone and 50 gb in your collection, iTUnes can be set to shuffle tunes onto your phone for you when you connect it to the PC.
I agree that the 16 Gb will be sufficient for most but as I pointed out you can't add more memory later. Only a true hardcore person needs the 64 Gb model.

Yeah. I think anyone who is new to iPhone should just go for the 16gb.
Unless that person has been using a large capacity iPod and plans to keep a lot of music on the iPhone plus apps plus pics and vid. Then, 32gb or 64gb.
I keep thousands of pics and a couple dozen vids on mine, so I like the extra space. I use my iPhone. I don't just text a few people and play Angry Birds.

I have more than 80gb of music in my I tune library, I maintain a portfolio of my companies work, some misc pictures and videos 6 pages of apps and I still haven't maxed out 16g iPhone.
I would never think of keeping every song that I have on my phone, I'm not an app junkie but I've got a lot of them, mostly news, reference and productivity and I've never felt a reason to want more space, especially for what Apple charges for extra capacity.
Go cheap, have fun and use the money you saved for something else.
I would start with 16gb. You can always transfer your pictures and videos to iTunes or the computer. If you don't plan on keeping it more than the 2 year upgrade. You can always upgrade if you need more. As far as downloading movies, save them to iTunes or stream. I stream on my Evo both music from Amazon and movies so I don't use too much stored memory.

I'm not concerned with the cost of my phones, not really.
I use them.
I'm over half full on a 64gb 4s. I have a lot of video and photos.
I could get by easy with a 32gb if I was a bit more conservative, but I see no reason to be.
I always sell my old phone or hand it down to someone here in the house, anyway.

64 GB is an enormous amount of storage for a phone. Over 10,000 songs or 75,000 photos (very conservative estimates). I can't imagine anyone needing that much storage. For an iPad, possibly, but not phone. Of course, videos take up a lot more space, but even then it seems like overkill. I personally don't transfer videos onto my iPhone; it's not a great medium for viewing video.
I have a 32 gb iPhone and it is just shy of being full. Apps take up a lot of room. I read on my phone and have lots of books as well as pictures, videos and music.

Apps do NOT take up a lot of room.
MY wife has 70+ on her phone and as I said isn't even half full.
VIDEOS takes up the most room.... and if any of you can really enjoy a movie on a 4 inch screen, more power to ya'. I don't watch anything more then a few minutes on that tiny thing (Youtube).

Some apps take a lot of room, but most don't. Consider a GPS program like NavFree with the entire US map set loaded.
That said, I don't use my 8GB iPhone as heavily as many might, but I still have 176 apps loaded. Only three are larger than 100MB.
