When I bought my iPhone, I debated about getting the 8 GB model versus the 16 GB one. I ended up with the 8 GB even though I was nervous it would not be enough space for my music collection.
Since owning my iPhone, my consumption of music has changed, making my concerns about storage space almost irrelevant. I mainly listen to Pandora and WunderRadio, which costs about $6. I hate paying for apps but this is one I highly recommend.
The iPhone and iPod sometimes get criticized for a lack of an FM Tuner. WunderRadio overcomes that by making streaming of online radio as easy as changing a station. For a one time price of $6 (non of that monthly fee BS), you can get access to radio stations all over the world. I use it to listen to WJFK and ESPN 980 in DC.
WunderRadio is able to access all of your favorite terrestrial radio stations as well online through RadioTime.  It uses the built-in GPS of the iPhone to find your local stations as a default. Plus, you can access any major radio station anywhere in the US. Definitely worth checking out.  Who needs satellite radio?
Here are a quick list of features of the app from the website:
- Listen to your local hometown radio station from anywhere in the world
- Find specific stations using the extensive search function
- Use GPS capabilities to generate a list of all local stations
- Keep up-to-date with international news and current affairs
- Listen to live commentary and sports talk
- Build a list of your favorite stations and shows
- Play back popular shows at your own leisure if you missed the live broadcast
- Check emergency scanner streams from ScanAmerica.us
- Check weather conditions on local NOAA weather radio streams
- Get local railroad information from RailRoad.net
