I'm not a "hardcore" user...I have a 16 GB iPhone with 979 songs, 26 photos, 26 apps, and have 8.1 GB free. You can definitely put a ton of stuff on there. If you have an ENORMOUS amount of music then 32 GB might be better, but even the 16 GB can hold a lot.
Wow....... you guys are hard core. I have 16GB and still have 15GB left. Like to keep mine a little bit on the clean side so to speak. I will be downloading songs though in due time. Right now I have 123 photos and 58 apps.
A gig is a lot of storage. On the other hand, data expands to fill the storage available to put it in. Since the days of the 1401, I have always opted for the max storage available.
Thanks for all your input guys I appreciate it... I don't plan to use my iPhone4 for music since I use my iPod for that so mainly I'll have apps, pictures, and ringtone files ssoo not sure if I should just go with the 16GB one since I don't plan on using it for music.
The reason you didn't find anything is because the answer is not going to be the same for everyone. Different people may use high bit rate audio where others use lower bit rate. Some may have HD video while others used SD. Also apps come in many different sizes so that isn't going to be the same either. People may have the exact same amount of songs, videos, pictures, apps, etc. and still have a very different amount of storage used. As far I what I have and would recommend, 32 GB.
You could probably get away with a 16GB EASILY if you're not storing music. BUT, don't forget about the camera and the video recorder. The iPhone shoots in HD and the camera can take HDR photos, and those will hog up space quickly if you're one to sync your phone like, once a month. If you don't see yourself using these much, then I'd definitely save yourself the $100 and get the 16GB (unless $100 is chump change, and then I'd get the 32GB for the better resale value). I have the 16GB because I could either afford the 16 or not get one at all, but I sync a couple of times a week and have gotten pretty good at keeping the usage down.
My stats:
Jailbroken via greenpois0n
1158 songs (one of which is over an hour long) at whatever the standard bitrate is for iTunes
401 photos, about 300 being HDR shots taken on my iPhone
27 HD videos with an average of two minutes in length per video
107 Applications, including Infinity Blade and WeatherHD (HUGE files) and a LOT of book apps
My capacity is listed at 14GB, and I have 652 MB available.

Those must be some little apps to have 58 and use less than a gig...
