How much memory do I need on the IPhone 4S - 16GB, 32GB, or 64GB?

Getting ready to buy first IPhone (iPhone 4S), but not sure whether I need the 16GB, 32GB, or 64GB version. I will use the phone mostly for calls, texts, email, calendar, and music (will probably load about 300-500 songs), and will also use the camera (but will probably only store 10-20 pictures on the phone long term). Obviously I'd hate to spend unnecessarily on unneeded memory, but I'd hate it even more to find I don't have enough memory. Any guidance is greatly appreciated!

Have you ever owned a device/computer/etc that had too much memory?

No matter what you get, it will be too little at some point.

Buy all you can comfortably afford.

I have a 16 GB iPhone with way more stuff on then you have listed and it is only half full.

Buy as much as you can afford... better to have and not need than need and not have, plus it will be worth more when you sell it.

Sounds to me like you only need a 16gb. Personally I have the 64gb and its maxed out. I'm a music collecter and gamer so use up space like a mofo.
