I don't think I understand the complaint here. If you are looking for more space and you are not interested in the other features, look for a gently used iPhone 4 or 4S. You might even be able to get one from the carrier, but either way look around because you will find them out there. Hey contact APple you never know they may have some refurbished units available, although I have no idea if they sell referred iPhones or not. Fact is you want to play you gotta pay.
