While there certainly are people who don’t need 16GB, one quickly realizes the connivence of more storage capacity on this device once they start using it. The iPhone is addictive. I surf, email, copy my entire contacts manager, keep my calendar and more. The more is what counts. I carry dozens of books (an avid audible.com reader) and lots of songs. I have the 16GB and will upgrade the moment a 32GB phone hits the market… especially if it has 3G and GPS!!!

Not irrelevant, but I believe the larger capacity iDevices always sell better. I don’t know what type of memory chips Apple uses, but maybe they just plain run out of the lower capacity memory and when it’s gone, that’s it. I think that even a 8GB iPhone is certainly useful, but I personally wouldn’t really want it with only that amount unless I was going to strictly use it as a phone and part-time music player. I’d want a 32GB device to store movies and games and such. I think the offering of a $200 8GB iPhone would be excellent to offer people who didn’t want to spend a lot of money if Apple were to continue to manufacture them in quantity.
