Definitely 32GB. Constantly running out of space on my 16GB OneX - on the system partition. Quite annoying to need to shuffle apps around to other partitions & run cache cleaner frequently.

I can handle either, but the value is fine in either case IMO. It's still a much better deal than anything else on the market. I'll probably lean towards whatever's not sold out when I'm shopping.

Imagine the dilemma if battery capacity is not specified on the Play Store at ordering time? To those considering the 16GB, what if come delivery time and those that ordered the 32GB are surprised to find a larger battery? Wouldn't that suck!

One other thing to consider... I haven't looked but has anyone seen on eBay if the Nexus 4 16GB has retained more resale value than the Nexus 4 8GB? I'm not saying that the Nexus 4 16GB isn't fetching more but is the difference more than $50 in the used market?

I'll be getting a 32GB Nexus 5 (in a mad dash!), my SGS1 has 16GB and its a 3 year old phone, so I feel like I want a bump up from its storage. I want to have a few games, some music, lots of pics on it without having to worry about space running out. Also with my job in IT it could be a life saver having the extra space to through an .iso on it when need be. So I'm happy Google didn't stick with last year's storage layout, I know a lot of people were on the fence with buying the Nexus 5 waiting to see if it came in 32GB or not (I would have got 16GB if it was the largest again).

I would be torn if I were in the market for the Nexus 5. I have the Note 3 which has 32GB of internal storage and a 64GB micro SD card, but when I had the Nexus 4 I had the 16 GB model and never came close to using half that. Unless you keep a lot of apps on your phone, its pretty easy to live in the cloud.

32gb nexus 5 for me, when I got the 16gb nexus 4 thought it was enough. But after a year I get uncomfortable with just a few gigs left. Heh

I'm thinking 16 gigs is good enough for me. I dont use it as a music player or anything. So I will just save some cash and get the 16 gigs most likely unless its an extra $20 or something then I might think about it. I will decide when the prices come out.

I have a 64gb HTC One X+ (att version). I will be picking up the 32gb Nexus 5 a couple weeks after release, cause I learned from other ppl to never buy the first batch to save heartache.

I'll prob be going with the 16 GB. I don't really play game (use a nexus 10 for those) or take 1000s of pictures, and keep backups on a jump drive. Plus coming from Verizon I'll save the extra money to use to try out a few different pre-paid options.

I have a note2 with 16g rom but I never used the rom more than 8g so that I do not care if it is above 16g or not.I will choose 8g nexus if it is much cheaper than 16g nexus
