upgrade hard drive?

[bigwag]

Will the iphone hard drive be able to be replace by a higher capacity drive such as 20,30,40,60, 80 gigs? I want a phone that will replace my Ipod

There is NO hard drive in an iPhone.

It is Flash RAM. Upgrades are unlikely if not impossible.

An 20GB iPhone is probably a long way off, like years away.

An iPhone is not supposed to replace your iPod.

It takes a little work to create play lists, but I have replaced my 60GB iPod with my iPhone. There is no way you will listen to 15,000+ songs in a day, or even a week. So, you can put 1,000 of those on your 8GB phone via play lists and mix it up every so often. I really don't see why you need to have thousands of songs with you every day...

You can put about 1,000 that should be enough I mean if you get bored change it up whats so bad about that

I don't think there is anything bad about it. But I like to listen to full albums sometimes, sometimes out of the blue I feel like listening to a certain artist or CD that I dont normally listen to so I like to have my music available to me. I also like to keep different music with me when going to parties and what not, Sure 1000 songs is a lot but I want more. I would rather be able to choose from all of my CD's then to only be able to choose from 50 of my CD's instead of all 200 of them. (200 is just a made up number)

Same here. I've found myself being more selective/economical with how I load my iPhone up, and it's working out well. Instead of just dumping entire albums onto the device, I pick and choose which songs I want. It takes a little longer to create a playlist, but I don't mind. The 1,000+ songs I can fit on my 8 GB is more than enough. I still use my iPod in the car and at work - places where I know I'm going to need lots of music for a long period of time.

Exactly, I use the iPod at home, work and in the car. But when I am out and about, on the bus, jogging, etc... I use the iPhone. They are two different products that serve two different needs. One does not, and can not, replace the other.

I use a Smart list for my iPhone, Not played in last 20 days, no skip counts greater than 2, rating greater than 3. That way I know the iPhone will always have the 'cool' music. I take about 700MB or so on the iPhone and leave the rest on the iPod.

Yeah I understand all that but wouldnt everyone rather have one device and all associated accessore than twice as much? And don't tell me one can't replace the other. It could be done, they just want to make a bunch of money selling smaller capacity ones before they decided to offer higher capacity
