Hey guys,
I've just ordered my 8gb omnia 7 and I'm genuinely still concerned about if 8gb will be enough.
I currently own a featurephone with a 2gb sd card, which i constantly have to swap out my music on. I carry around a pocketpc with another 2gb for video which again I have to swap.
So i'm wondering how everyone is coping with the 8gb issue... Living outside of the US meants no zune pass either. Given the restrictions on apps with Isolated storage, I can't even write something to swap files with my server while on the go :S.
I tried a few 8GB models at first, but very soon realized it just wasn't enough (Just like I had imagined, but figured I'd give it a go anyway as everyone was praising the cloud integration). After about a week the 8GB (more like 6.5GB as a bunch is reserved/used from the factory) was full and I had to start removing stuff.
The Omnia is perfect in every way apart from the 8GB memory issue. I have since ordered a 16GB version, but I would have preferred an additional SD slot (like on the Focus) for future needs.
So, if I were you I would cancel the 8GB model and order a 16GB handset from Germany. If you're buying it off-contract you may even save a few bob.
Hey emigrating, thanks for the reply.
Well, The problem is that every german version I've found is atleast 100euros more expensive than the 8gb version. (i ordered it for 500). So I'm not sure I want to spend that amount..
Where are the 32 and 64G versions of the 7.7?
What's this thing with Samsung to announce higher capacity tabs, only for them to be scarcely found anywhere?
PK
I had the option to grab a 32gb 7.7 in Australia
Stuck with the 16gb though...
I am so keen on one that I might consider risk sourcing it from Oz all the way here, to Portugal (...half the globe!)
Do you think anything might be different between the units sold down there and the ones sold in Europe?

AFAIK, when it comes to the P6800 (3G), only the 16GB model is available. I have seen like maybe one person so far who said that they had a 32GB 3G model that they got somewhere in or around Russia.
The 32GB P6810 (WiFi) seems to be readily available in the Australian market, so I would imagine you could find somewhere to import from.
As for the 64GB model of either, not a chance... I haven't seen or heard of either of those out in the wild in any shape or form...
Here's the thing:
Samsung said that they'd have 16, 32, and 64 gig models of the Galaxy S2. It's been about a year since the GS2 hit the market, and the GS3 is right around the corner. It wasn't until only recently that the 32GB model reached the market, and the 64GB model is still nowhere in sight...
So, my recommendation would be, unless Samsung releases all announced capacities of _______ at the time of launch, just pretend that the other versions don't even exist in the first place, and don't wait for them either, because they may never even come to market anyway.
Get what you want/what's available, when you want it, throw a 64GB SD card in it, and be happy.

Yes, the 32Gb versions (both the Wi-Fi and the 3/4G ones) seem to be (scarcely) available in Australia and in the Philippines.

I know...How are we to take seriously a company that doesn't even control what they announce vs. what they actually send to the market?
For instance, right now the Galaxy 2 10.1 is announced in both the 16 and 32Gb versions....but what can any potential customer actually expect to be launched?...and when?

I really would prefer at least 32Gb internal coupled with the 64Gb card. I am keen on photography and one of my requirements from my current (GT-P1000) and next tabs is for them to double as image banks in my trips, with the external card reserved for photos, during those times.

I totally hear ya, but honestly, if having a decent camera is also a requirement, then the 7.7 is not something I can recommend for that...

Nah...I have a 1DMKIV for that
Currently: Raw photos go to the in-camera CF card and a real-time medium-size Jpeg copy goes to the GT-P1000, through Wi-Fi, via an Eye-Fi Pro X2 siting on the in-camera SD slot.
I have to carry multiple CF cards for, say, a 12-15 day trip, keeping all Raw files for later sorting and do "end of the day" sorting and deleting in the SGT7 Jpeg clones.
I love this set-up and you can not wipe-out a stupid grin from my face every time I use it.
How I want to upgrade: SGT 7.7 (for the much improved display) working the same as before, except that now I will have the actual Raw original traveling through the Wi-Fi connection into the tab, which will act as "on-the-go" storage bank.
This way, once at home, I won't have to duplicate in the Raw final folder the Jpeg deleting I have made "on-the-move".
Raw transit times through the ad-hoc Eye-Fi hotspot are much longer than Jpegs but I don't have to worry about it since, if the tab is allowed to stay relatively close to the camera (say, in the backpack or in the car), the photos will keep transferring at their own pace and will all be in the tab by bedtime.
Under this plan, I can assure you, having the external SD 64Gb reserved for the Raw photos is not too much, hence the need for larger internal capacities so that the tab can keep fulfilling the other requirements I have for it, while traveling.

Hmmm, that's quite a cool setup there! I can understand the desire for ever more capacity! That said, and kinda getting back to my previous point, you're probably just better off getting the 16 or 32 model, considering that the 64 may end up being a pipe dream... I can understand why the screen would be a major upgrade for what you do, and as such, it seems that the screen upgrade might take higher priority than the storage capacity. That's just my two cents though!

Wow! you get a hold of things quickly, don't you?...My conundrum described, exactly!
Already forgot the 64Gb version, although Samsung Portugal assured about a month ago both versions would come to our market. Since then, their tune changed slightly...Importing the models is now "pending on an internal reunion" and I have been promised an email, as soon as a decision is made.
You're right, the display is the keystone to my "upgrade building"...The problem is, I also quite like the PLS standard displays so, if no 7.7 32Gb shows up soon in Europe (...I travel by profession and can source it, either in person or via web, from several European suppliers...it just has to, like... exist ! ) maybe I just settle for a 32Gb version of the coming Tab 2 10.1...the only reason I didn't get a 10.1 last year was because of Samsung's pulling of of that "no SD slot" stunt.
Meanwhile, the money is burning in my pocket and, beginning May, I'll have to go twice to Amsterdam and will have to pass those beautiful, beautiful 16Gb 7.7s at Schipol airport electronics shop, at "just" 540 EUR...Maybe I'll cave in...
I believe one thing is working in my favor by having to wait...it will give Samsung time to work out those reported SuperAMOLED+ displays problems. Maybe newer units feature improved versions...
Thanks for your help and support!

I've bought 64gb version about a month ago... here in Russia
there are NO 32gb versions here - only 16gb and 32gb (all with 3G and WiFi)

How much did your 64gb version set you back in USD? 3G P6800 too right? Is it still available in Russia?
and why do we have no info on when they will be available? all i see is 'coming soon" on the at&t page. why bother giving us the price tag a month ago then not having them up for presale? will they even be available upon launch on at&t?
Samsung are always the same they say there are 32 and 64 models but they never ever see the light of day here in the UK

just spoke to at&t and they said the 32gb model will probably not be available at launch. yet they have the $249 price tag in their systems already. if true i guess ill hold off upgrading. what a mess.
EDIT: i also see they never carried the 32gb model of the s3 so im wondering if we will ever get a 32gb edition of the s4?

I am wondering the same thing. It's just speculation of course, but I wouldn't be surprised if the 32 and 64gb versions will only be available through Verizon in the US. So AT&T gets first launch but Verizon gets a better variety? I guess we will know soon. I guarantee there are managers at AT&T that already know, but as usual, are not saying.
hope it won't be like last year when they cancelled the galaxy s3 64GB version
yeah i got fed up and just ordered my 16gb edition on at&t.
I'm won't buy the 16gb. I want 32 or 64gb. I'm in UK and Samsung won't reveal anything. 16gb is no good as only 8.9gb is free to users. And all apps and games and app data has to go in phone memory. Not micro sd.
I don't see any reason for AT&T to skip the 32GB, they have it as coming soon. Some speculate that Samsung is pushing the 16GB out first since its more popular but I don't see why they can't get both capacities out, its a pre-order for a reason.
I am porting from Verizon to AT&T so I have to wait and I'm stuck on a crappy old flip phone while I wait. I didn't want to get stuck hold the bag on my last phone and lose the value on it. My hope is its shortly after launch, but my fear is it could be a month or two after launch. No more Verizon, so AT&T better step up.
If they have a sku for the 32GB GS4, then its clearly planned, just a timing issue.
we are all just speculating of course but if they focused all manufaturing on one model (qualcomm 16gb) then they are more likely to meet demand rather then if they fragmented at launch and possibly missed shipping on multiple models. just a WAG tho...
Watch out on ebay.. There suckering people with 32GB S4 = 16GB(internal) + 16GB(microSD)
I spoke to sammy today and they have no info on 32gb models. As i said i just sucked it up and got the 16gb today. I have a 64gb sd card anyways.

My S2 Skyrocket has 16 GB internal memory and I have never come close to filling it. However, it all depends on how people use their phones. I don't use mine for music or movies (at this time) so my biggest storage issues are phone related (nandroids, Apps, pictures and videos, etc...) and I usually use the external SD for the pics and vids. But here is why I want the 32 GB model:
1. If I ever find myself in a situation that I need or want to take a lot of videos and pictures but don't have an extra SD card with me or a way to transfer them to another media. It would suck to run out of storage when it is really needed.
2. 32 GB might not be needed (by me) right now, but with larger and better apps, games, and similar being developed, it can't hurt. In the future it will be welcome.
3. The 32 GB model will look better than the 16 GB model when / if I ever want to sell it.
4. External SD cards crap out all of the time. Having enough onboard storage to temporarily back up important info, pics, and vids will be nice.
Of course, like I said, everybody's experience differs and some people definitely need more than 16 GB to start with.
If the 32GB isn't offered, I guess there won't be a choice.
I'm just fine with my 80GB model.
A lot of chatter, but really.... if you want it soon get the 16gb version. if 32gb is important to you, then wait. No point whining about the fact 32gb isn't available yet. 16gb will be the most popular by far, it makes sense they started there.

Thanks for your opinion but the thread is about the 32 GB version so there is no point in you calling OP related issues "whining". As stated, I (and many others) would like the 32 GB version so any information about it is certainly welcome.
I know, some people just never read the fine print. I am just sitting idle until AT&T says something.
Wheres the 64GB love? Can I get a 9500 (ex5410) + 64GB + LTE is that too much to ask?
is there any way of loading apps on the sd card? 16gb seems awful low
I'm waiting as well
"Life Companion" at 16GB ..
Last i read was the 32gb will be available when the s4 is officially avail April 30th. But I would not hold my breath as it was not from a credible source. I too am waiting for the 32gb as 16gb just won't cut it.

Ok So i am about to buy a note 3. I have been shopping around to find the best deal on the phone. on everyone's website and all the info I have seen this phone comes with 32gb of internal memory. I have been planning on buying the phone through Target bc they have the best price i found. The only thing is the specs on their website show that it has 16gb of internal memory. Wtf? Is this a different version or is there info wrong?
Its listed under under overview as built in storage capacity on the note 3 through verizon with a new 2 yr contract
Please help and Thank you in advance
Target's info is wrong. 32GB is the lowest amount the Note 3 comes in and the only thing above that is 64GB.
Hi There,
I am living in South Africa and was trying for a while to buy the 64 GB & Duos version, but no luck. I just couldn't find any dealer. I was also looking in Europe and Asia. Now I am for work in Iran and had to go to a Samsung Dealer to repair my current phone (Galaxy S6 64 GB Duos). However, they told me I can get the S7 Edge with 64 GB or 128 GB as Duos. I thought the usual and they mistake with 32 GB and thought about an additional memory card. But they assured me it is internal storage. I was also wondering if this store is just a fake, but my (Iranian) buddy assured me that this is an official Samsung Dealer. 128 GB version? Can this be true? What you guys think?
Price:
64 GB Duos 660 USD
128 GB Duos 740 USD
I can't find anywhere on the web a S7 Edge with 128GB internal memory.
Check the phone by Yourself before buying it.
They don't have the phone on stock, but need to be ordered. I think I am gonna do it and let me be surprised.... Delivery time is 4 days
What I was wondering is if they would change the internal storage by themselves. I asked them, but they said "no, it comes like this out of the box". My wife ask yesterday in the Samsung Store in Cape Town, but they said there is no S7 with 128 GB internal storage. Also the news about the S7 with coral blue color stated the same technical specs (32 GB). But as said above, I will give it try and order it. I just have to pay a small advance payment.
If you get one, ask for the blue coral version and I'm in ?

They don't make a 128gb version. You're probably taking a gamble if you can't return it. I have a feeling you'll be getting a fake phone. Be careful.
