16gb Vs 32gb + sd card....what am I missing here???

[racermech]

What am I missing between the 16 and 32gb versions of the phone? If that is just the internal storage and you can add up to 64gb on a card what difference does it really matter? I cant imagine that between 16 internal and the 32gb card I have I am going to run out of space any time soon....unless I am missing something else.

Applications can only be installed to the internal storage and some people have said that 16GB isn't enough space for their app storage. Some bigger games can take a couple gigabytes. Other people have bought the 32GB version because it helps increase the resale value.

There are so many advantages, if you got the chance to get the 32gb, get it! Gives you so much more room to do .

If memory serves, the 16 GB has about 11GB available for the user. The 32GB has about 28GB available.

If 11GB sounds like enough on board storage for your needs, then go with that and save yourself $50.

Personally, I chose the 32GB version because I like to store a fair amount of apps, songs and pics/vids on the local storage, without having to deal with losing access to it when I swap mSD cards.

That is about what I figured. I have been on a thunderbolt and never had any internal storage issues. Guess I just dont keep that much on my phone, even pics I will download to my mac and then backup so I dont loose them later down the road.

I thought apps could be moved to sd card but I guess that is a CyanogenMod feature? My EVO had only 500 meg internal storage and a 16 gig card and I got by fine by moving the big apps to my 16 gig sd card. 16 gig on the phone and a 64 gig card with my SG3 seems like it will be plenty.
