As the title mentions, are you more likely to buy the 16GB or 32GB version? For purposes of this poll, let's assume that the only difference in the phones themselves would be the actual storage.
I've historically been a proponent of getting the largest (or certainly not smallest) available size. My 2012 N7 was the 16GB, my N4 16GB, and my new 2013 N7 32GB. I've done this because I was worried about the smaller size being insufficient for growth of the OS and a modest amount of installed apps. That was certainly true for the 2012 N7, where the 8GB version sacrificed a fairly large % of its storage to the OS.
Now, though, I'm wondering if 16GB might actually be enough for a reasonable lifespan of a current device. I currently have most of a season of Dexter, a couple of movies, a couple of games, and a reasonable variety of apps on my N4 and, while I could certainly fill out more space, don't feel likely to run through all of that before I'd have an opportunity to shuffle content. And, of course, any money saved by not opting the larger capacity model can be seen as a 'deposit' of sorts saved towards the next upgrade.
What are your thoughts? We don't have internal memory cards, and the 'cloud' is limited in a number of ways - how much storage is actually enough for a device you'll keep for probably only 1-2 years?
