I spoke with people at the Apple Store, at VZW and at Apple on the phone and I am still left with the impression that I am making a blind guess in selecting anything other than the 64.
What is your personal guide on how to choose which model to buy?
My first iPhone was a 3G/16. I ran out of space with my apps and music content. I could have fixed that by not storing so much music on my phone I suppose. As to whether you should choose 16/32 or 64 I guess it depends on how many apps you have as well as photos, music and videos. Videos take up a lot of space even if compressed with something like Handbrake. I guess you could limit yourself to what you put on your phone at a certain time and just limit what you have on the phone. Flash isn't all that expensive in the real world though you pay a premium for it when you're chosing the size of iPhone storage.
