It really depends on what you plan on using it for. I'm not sure about this phone in particular, but a 16 GB phone will have 12 GB useable out of the box. Whereas a 32 GB phone will have about 27 GB available. You can get a 2 hour movie down to 700 MB, so 12 GB is 17 movies. But then how much space do you want for photos, apps, MP3s?

I have a 32 GB phone and I have around 10 GB free at any given time. I could ration it down if I had to. My previous phone was 16 GB, and I managed OK; but every so often I would have to make decisions about what to delete. To me, signing a 3 year commitment, it was worth $100 to not have to worry about space for the next 3 years. Given this is a no-contract phone, you might want to upgrade sooner; especially if you have less money invested.
