Frequent syncing of your Flash device will reduce its lifespan. Not a major concern with a cell phone, which will almost certainly fail in some other way (or be superseded by the Next Bitchin' Thing(tm) ) before you hit your erase-cycle limit, but still something to think about.
I am a poor predictor of what music I will want to hear between syncs, and since I currently _do_ have everything in my backpack, on my Flashtrax, I don't see why I shouldn't have everything in my pocket.
I see devices like this as a hard drive first and a media player second, so I'm very into the $/GB ratio. And bigger is always cheaper in these things. Also, not having room for _one more file_ pisses me off unreasonably, and happens far too often even with my 80GB Flashtrax.
Finally, it saves me $600+tax and accessories to hold a hard line on this topic. :)
