Obviously it depends how much music, videos, pictures and apps you are going to be putting on the phone.

       Do you take pictures a lot? Have a lot of music? Videos?

Don't forget that with every new iphones, the apps get better graphics, better performance and all that impact on the app's size... pictures/videos are also gaining quality ==> size. I went for the 32gb because I was finding myself deleting apps and pictures from time to time due to lack of space...

I don't take a lot of pics or vids and I want abt 250-500 songs and I will probably want some games but not too many apps.  How much does apps take up?

Then u should be fine with 16gb... but don't forget that nowadays, the big games (from EA or Gameloft) each weight ~1Gb...
the regular apps themselves are not that heavy (expect for the Apple ones: Keynote, Pages, Numbers, iMovie, iPhoto which are about 200Mb each...). Also keep in mind if u watch movies or tv shows that u transfer onto your iphone, it will take space... The amount of songs u mentioned will take about 1.5Gb

Dont get the blackberry. They have a new bug that corrupts the memory card.

If you are looking productivity u should go with the galaxy s3.

Back to the iPhone 5 . It should be called iPhone 4s2 or 4s extended. There not much new hardware.

I said theres not much new hardware. The a6 chip is not gonna be such a noticeable addition in my opinion. Being that i have had the a4 chipset and the a5 chip. Thibgs arent so crazy between each chipset

A6 is definitely more powerful than A5 (u get 1GB Ram - I call that improvement). A6 is twice as fast as A5 and A5 is twice as fast as A4. Also, having a new LTE chip is definitely a hardware upgrade.  ???

Lookup the shipping estimate on a carrier's website not apple.com
