RubenC Artimus Maximus Registered: 09/04/02 Posts: 2998 Loc: Beautiful Southern California	I'm still toying with getting my iPhone before the rumored May-June release. I have a chance to get a refurb 8GB iPhone for $99 or a 16GB iPhone for $199 from ATT via my company discount. Besides the music space is there any other significant reason to bump up to the larger 16GB model? I'm thinking for $99 I can get two, one for me and one for my wife and not impact our wallets too much. _________________________

For instance, if "real" GPS software arrived (with the maps pre-stored) that's got to gobble storage. (And you may find yourself watching movies or video podcasts more than you expect. With an adapter, you can deliver movies and TV shows to a regular TV from your iPhone.) But if it's a question of TWO phones vs. one? Take two! _________________________ nagromme STROGG: Change We Can Believe In TeamMacOSX.org

RubenC Artimus Maximus Registered: 09/04/02 Posts: 2998 Loc: Beautiful Southern California	That was my thought, "Two for the price of one", music wise I still have my 80GB iPod, plenty for now. But for what it's worth, the deed is done. _________________________
