AT&T is offering me a choice of the following iPhones:

3G 8GB $99.00

3GS 16GB $199

3GS 32GB $299

Which should I go for? Do I need 32GB? How much do I need?

It's always better to have and not need than to need and not have. Go with the 32GB and never look back.

Yeah, I guess when you spread the extra $200 over two years it isn't that bad.

i have ~100gb of music, and the 8gb iphone works fine for me. my roomate paid the extra $100, and got a compass, an extra 8gb, a faster processor and some other doodads. i personally thought it was loony to pay double for that, but to each his own.

itunes lets you set up dynamic playlists that are very helpful for automatically sorting through what songs get loaded to your iphone and what does not.

my current system is that if i rate it 3-stars or higher, or if i've added it within the past 2 weeks, it is automatically transferred to my iphone.

The more room the better, buy as much as you can afford. I went for the 16 myself.

I got the 32gb and I have filled it about 3/4. Its around 8gb of pictures and the rest is songs and apps. I would say it would depend what kind of stuff you would want on it.

If you want to load alot of media on it get the biggest you can afford. For my purposes 32GB is still too small. I'll consider an iphone when it has 128GB+. Right now my 5 year old ipod video is doing a fine job!
