[Sprint] Buy a 16GB now or wait a month for 32GB?

---

I'm on a Sprint employee advantage plan with my brother I'm law. I just got my GS2 in October when I switched from tmo (fast data makes for fast throttling...at 1 week into the billing period). I tried several times to buy the 32gb at full price through telesales but all they could do was transfer my call from one CS to another until finally one CS told me the employee advantage sponsor has to order it from the employee computer. Asked brother in law and he said I gotta wait until it's avail for employees (prob about a month) even if I buy it outright. He said I could go in store to get the 16gb now if I want. My real q is should I go for the lower memory to get it now or wait? I have a 64gb MicroSDXC I bought that arrived already. On my current phone I'm always low on internal space because Google music and my pod cast app only stores to internal storage.

I say get it now and here's why
U have 64GB scars that I doubt u will fill anyway.
U have 16GB of internal memory.
Don't forget u also get 50GB dropbox, and Google music is supposed to be used to stream s it doesn't eat urban phone.

So u alrdyy got over a hundred gigs, I think ull be good. Plus saving a lil dough is always good

ROMs and Backups are getting only bigger. My NANdroid of stock is over 700 MB, and I downloaded Blazer and it's 528 MB. Not to mention the 16GB model has only 11GB of actual storage. If you've got the patience, go with the 32GB.

I'm sure there's plenty of space on a 64GB sd card for roms and backups

Man I'm getting old.... I remember when a 40MB hard drive on a computer was a big deal.

Now I'm concerned I ordered the 32gb blue one Wednesday and I was never told I had to wait a month unless I got another idiot at sprint.

Get a 32GB card, they're like $20 now. I've got about 10 nandroids on my S2, plus music and pictures. I haven't come close to filling up the internal storage, but I've got the 32GB card as back up.

Get it now

32s are available. Op is saying he has too wait cuz he's on an employee plan. I ordered mine this past Sunday and received it Tuesday.

Get the 32 gig. Since the G3 apps will not write or transfer to the eternal sd card you could need the 32 if you game etc.. You will need to use something like directory bind or a Dev patch to overcome this.

Added:

Below is some more info explaining the problem and why the 32 gig Samsung S3 model could be better for you.
