Got an iPhone? Would you buy a 16GB or 32GB one to replace your current 8GB model if Apple introduce one at MacWorld? I must admit that contract aside, I consider the 8GB size to be a restriction, in that it means it couldn't replace carrying an iPod as well. As it is I find the 16GB iPod touch a bit restrictive too, and 32GB would be the ideal size. If you consider the market into which Apple launched the iPhone, no other cellphone has more storage capacity. The ones with (Micro? Mini?) SD card slots have significantly *more* capacity. Cheers, Chris

As it is I find the 16GB iPod touch a bit restrictive too, and 32GB would be the ideal size. If you consider the market into which Apple launched the iPhone, no other cellphone has more storage capacity. Granted many of them have other features the iPhone lacks. If Apple address those, plus increased storage, then it becomes much more of a must have cellphone. Something has to be done about the lock in to one provider too. What happens at the end of your 18 month contract? o2 are at liberty to charge whatever they like and if you don't like it you're left with an out dated iPod and the need for another phone. Well, yes agreed, and the reason I wouldn't have one was the contract, but I was taking the question as if you could get the phone just as a phone with no contract. In that case, I would want more memory to be able to replace my iPod touch. The phone itself is not expensive compared to other phones bought without a contract. In fact it's actually a bit of a bargain if you can live without 3G, which most people can. But £35 a month for 18 months must be putting a lot of people off if they can see past the normal contract and free phone deals we're used to in the UK. If o2 gave it away free, or even £50, with the 18 month contract, they would really fly off the shelves. I don't mind the cost of the phone, I _object_ to the cost of the contract and the 18 month part. I have put a lot of effort into not having 18 month contacts and £45 for 600 minutes is taking the piss! Anyway, that contract is too much for too little for me, even though I am happy to say that I could live with every problem the iPhone has if it wasn't for that.

Yes but at additional cost. A card slot would be a useful addition to the iPhone.

I agree a card slot would be a useful addition to an iPhone, but I suspect Apple won't add one - it makes their DRM a bit easier to circumvent, and since currently the iPhone UI isn't oriented towards storing user files...

Not yet - MicroSD are up to 8gig at the moment. Full size SD are at 16gig, so wait til next week for that to trickle down. Cheers - Jaimie

I had to juggle music and South Park episodes on it recently. 16GB or more would allow me to take all the music I like, all my podcasts and still leave room for trip specific stuff. On the other hand, as a phone it's ace. Visual Voicemail is a killer app for me. Plue the on the go Internet and email is much better than my work provided Nokia E61. The later is now carried in my laptop case, on silent, as a pure Blackberry device. Ian
