I dont think 16GB is enough. I like having the option to carry around 10 movies when I go away on business. I also like recording my son in HD which takes up space quickly. For the life of me I have no idea why Google and Samsung decided not to allow expandable memory. This is why I will not be getting this phone and this is why WP 7 doesnt even exist for me.

IMO...WP7 shoulda decided what they wanted to do with removable storage. It's a hybrid between removable and non removable storage. They need to make up their minds.

I know as I start listening to more music, or taking more pics and videos... 16GB might be pushing it. I do the emulators too and one games folder is 2GB.

While 16 GB may not really seem like all that much, I have found it to be fine thus far thanks to the cloud. I used almost 29 of 32GB on my SGS but on my GN I am using only 6GB so far, and most of that is from roms and emulators. I use Spotify and Google for music exclusively, movies - Netflix, photos - Picasa and G+, and assorted filed I store in Gmail and Dropbox. The only problem is flights or when I have no connection, but that really isn't that often and I will usually throw a few things on the phone in preparation for that.

Everyone has their own requirements for storage and usage though, it is still a fantastic device and probably the best phone I have ever touched IMHO.

This is exactly correct. 16 GB is more than enough if you live in the cloud. Though I understand some of you may not be there yet but if you are, you should be all set.
