Is there enough memory in 8gb iPhone? *URGENT* Please reply

    So, I'm might get an old iphone when the new one is released and there is *hopefully* a price drop, if no price drop, I dunno what I'll get.

    Anyway, if I get and iPhone and Unlock and JailBreak it, how much memory will be left?

    The reason I'm asking this is because on my old Sony ericsson I was able to fit about 100+ songs, 5+ full music videos, 60+ games and 300+ 2mp camera pics on a 256 mb memory card. Will the memory be the same, storage wise? And home much memory on average do apps take up?

    Thanks for reading,

    Brian

    *URGENT* Is there any where online that I can buy an Apple iPhone without having to buy a tariff. I wanna buy from America but the Apple Shop askes for what tariff you want. Please reply!

    Putting *URGENT* in a post is one way to guaranteed nobody will reply to it.

    Also, have you bothered to read the thread about unlocking/sourcing an iPhone?

    Hmm. Sorry, the title of that topic is slightly misleading. I thought it was for questions on unlocking only. Sorry for this topic anyway.

    I shall move my questions to that topic then! Thanks for the info. I'll remeber it.

    i'm sorry, but no way can I NOT ask this: are you kidding? There is no way you fit all that on a 256mb memory card! Sorry! Even a badly coded song is a mb or so... A video clip? Well depends... 300 pics... Etc etc and how would unlocking an iphone reduce or, lol, increase maybe it's memory?

    anyhow, is that magic memory card for sale?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20 Brian08


    I am not kidding. There is something's I am be sure about. I had 102 songs. Because sony ericsson lists them. And some of them weren't full like 15 second funnny sounds etc. I had got around 300 pictures. That's for sure. Then again, some of the tones were the default ones saved on the Sony Ericsson phone itself. There was also a few of the games on the phone I recall. But there was not much on the phone. And I did have 57 games. Because a fella at shcool though he had more then me so I counted mine. He had only like half (give or take) the amount of games I had.

    I thought it would decrease because of the apps need to keep it unlocked and Jailbroken.

    If you'r wondering it was a Mermory Stick Pro Duo M2.

    If you were able to get by so well with 256mb, why are you worried that 8Gb wont be enough????????

    I thought the apps would take up too much space and I would only be able to fit a couple of apps on it.

    That 256mb lasted my 5 months before I started deleting the songs I didn't listed to off to make room for songs I did listen to.

    Sony Ericson: 256mb
    iPhone: 8,000mb*

    Ask that fella in school which is bigger.



    *Assuming Giga = 1000 mega </pedant>

    the apps fill 8gb? You can fit windows xp, vista and linux on 8gb, and have room for a few songs! So, don't worry. And by the way: no one refers to 15 sec ringtones as "songs"!!!!!
