    Hello, my wife is getting to turn to the dark side. LOL! She is trying to figure out which one she wants the 8g or the 16g. Is there really a need to have a 16g for normal everyday use?

    Any help would be great. Thanks

    I guess it depends on what you think normal is. I have over 12MB of music I'd like to put on my media card but, I can't see spending that kind of money right now. Same thing for my PC - I'd love to have the terabyte HD but...

    Also, make sure her BB will work with either card. Check out the "Media Cards Explained" link in my signature for details.

    She has a 8700c right now, so she doesn't have a card.

    The version of the BB OS determines the size of a card that can be used.

    ok I think you misunderstood. She has a 8700 now and she is switching to the Iphone. My question is, is it worth getting a 16g or would a 8g be enough?

    Sorry

    I have a 16g with tons of music and apps on it, and still have 10g left. Unless she is going to have a lot of movies/videos, then 8g should be plenty. If the extra $100 isn't an issue, I'd get the 16g anyway.

    I agree with charlie, if you plan to put movies or music videos on it you should get the 16gb. I wish I got the 16gb but I was too cheap and regretting it now.

    I got the 16 as I am a big music/Family Guy listener/watcher.......if she isn't too much into stuff like that.......or doesn't want it in white.....8 is enough.....

    I tried both, and sent both back......funnily enough the amount of memory didn't affect it's ability to hold onto a damn network! Neither of them did that well at all, and I live in the middle of the city. It's cool as far as a gadget goes, and the UI is truly brilliant, but it's utter utter junk as a phone. Get the Touch if you want to get her an amazing iPod, but I wouldn't recommend trusting the iPhone as a phone!

    Well... unless she wants white, then other than memory, no need to get the 16gb. I will tell you how much stuff I have on mine and you be the judge:

    songs = 928... it should be close to 2000, but my memory would have been gone.
    movies = 8...
    photos = 422
    apps = 29

    Space being used...
    audio = 5.03gb
    videos = 4.09gb
    photos = 270.1mb
    apps = 230.9mb
    other = 232.6 (sms, address book, emails, and everything else)

    free space = 4.81gb


    You be the judge. I don't even watch the media or music, I just have it. This is why I'm satisfied with my Bold.
