Apple's iPhone: The Future is Here

4GB vs. 8GB
You see, I'm on a never-ending quest to have access to all of my content, on any device, at any time, anywhere. The iPhone is a stop on the road to convergence perfection, and as such you have to think about it as much more than a phone. I made the mistake of looking at it as an iPod, figuring that I take around 4GB of music with me in my car so a 4GB iPhone should suffice.
My mistake was in discounting exactly how many pictures I'd throw on this thing; my initial iPhoto sync had around 700MB of pictures stored on the phone, and after seeing how well the iPhone works as a picturebook I wanted to add more. The problem is that there's simply not enough room on the 4GB iPhone for all the music and pictures I'd like to store, thus making a strong argument for the 8GB iPhone.
I would caution you against underestimating the importance of more storage on the phone; initially I scoffed at the idea of spending an extra $100 on the 8GB iPhone, this thing will probably be obsolete in another year anyways once the 3G version comes out, so why bother spending more? The mistake comes in that you can't view the iPhone the way you do any other phone you've ever owned. Coming from years of Blackberries, the decision between 4GB and 8GB is like asking a homeless guy whether he wanted an Enzo or Veyron, it's so out there that it was unfathomable.
If you have any music/photo library at all I would strongly encourage you not to make the same mistake I did and opt for the 8GB version instead.

Reading this review again in 2020, it's fascinating to see how far we've come since 2007. Amanda's remarks about the keyboard, in particular, seem so quaint today.
