iPhone 3G 8GB -enogh?

[danyl]

Hello all,
My name is Dany Lisiansky and I live in Israel.
Here the price differential between the iphone 8GB and the 16GB iPhone model is huge, so I ask the following questions.

I will put on the iPhone:
Music - 3 Gb.
Video - 1 Gb.
Software and games - I do not know what the volume of software and games and because of this I need your help.

Do I have enough space in the model that has the 8 Gb?
Or I'll have to buy the model that has the 16 Gb?

In addition, if so, I wanted to know whether the reception from the APPLE store assistant in the event of a problem of hardware / software on the iPhone.

Thank you for your help,
Dany Lisiansky

To me it sounds like 8 gig will be just fine for you. If money is not a big deal then you might as well get the 16 gig. Eventually you may get tired of the same movies and videos and just remove and replace them anyway. This will prevent you from filling it up. I use to have a 2G 16gig Iphone and now I have the 3G 8gig. I think I may only have it halfway filled. When I had the 16gig I never had it close to full. This time around it was about money so I only got the 8gig .

8GB should be enough. Apps and themes won't take up more an 1 GB in most cases and that's only for a small minority of users. You can also save space by hosting all your music on your computer and streaming it via Simplify which is free on the AppStore and a free download for your PC.

^^If your using the iphone on an "Apple approved" carrier....then yes you should be able to mail it to them/back for warranty issues.

If your "unlocking" it....you have NO warranty.

well, I'm unlocking it with i-smartphone 3g turbo sim, but it will get jailbrake.

if i'm make restore, they steel can know that i did jailbrake?

and the send to israel?
you sure?

^^They will check to see if the phone is activated on an approved carrier....which they can do.....and if its NOT, your warranty is voided. No if, and, or but's.

ok,
Than you very much for your help.

one more question:
I'm installing the Hebrew lang pack, do you know the size on it?
and what the regular size of a Game or a software (3id party)?

[cpjr]

If you mean file size....no idea. And all apps are different.

I have a TON of stuff on mine and its eating up about 1gig of space.

[danyl]

great, after "sucot" (that the Jewish celebrate) i will get a new 8GB iPhone 3g

Have fun with it!
