BUY IPHONE 4 32GB OR WAIT FOR IPHONE 3 64GB?

Question

Hey Everyone! I am a student and I really need an Iphone as it makes my life much more efficient. At the moment I am using a Iphone 3G 8GB, and it is old, slow and sometimes not responding. The 8GB capacity is far from enough as well.
I am thinking about getting Iphone 4, however, the 32GB won't be enough for long, as I have at least 12 GB MUCH NEEDED APPS, 5GB FOR MUCH NEEDED MAPS, 2GB FOR FILE STORAGE, 4GB MUSICS, AND 3-5 GB PODCAST/AUDIOS AND VIDEOS.
THE MAIN PROBLEM IS THE ACTUALL AVAILABLE CAPACITY OF 32GB IS ONLY 27 OR 28 SOMETHING? LIKE IT IS ONLY 6.9GB ON A 8GB MODEL?
In my calculation, I will feed up 20GB of the Iphone 4 right after getting it, and it just have 8-9 GB to grow... and the same lack of capacity problem will happen again,
But I don't know when Apple will announce its Iphone 4 64GB?
Should I get this iphone 4 right away or wait for Iphone 4 64GB?

Answer 1

12 GB seems a bit high for apps to me, especially if you are not including maps in that number. I have 3.3 and use a GPS solution that does not permanently store maps. 2 GB for file store sound more than reasonable though. I have twice as much music on mine and could really put less than that on since I listen to Pandora or other streaming radio more often. If you usually get good 3g internet connectivity and especially if you have the unlimited data plan still then you should consider just streaming podcasts instead of downloading them. You can browse to them in iTunes Store on iPhone and then play them from there using the preview button. The last time I tried that it played the whole podcast. I think it still does that.
You may even want to free up more space so that you have more room for taking pictures and recording video. Don't leave a bunch of videos and pictures you recorded on the iPhone either. Post videos and photos you create to web services so you can access them from there instead.
I'd welcome the extra storage space as well, however they had to hold something back to get me to buy the next iPhone release, didn't they? You could just stick with your iPhone and get the iPod Touch, however the better camera and better screen were enough to make me go with the iPhone 4.
