Welcome to the forums! 
Seeing your post, I have to assume you're not in the U.S. since the Verizon version does have 32GB storage.
I can't answer the question for international buyers, but Google Music will take a big load off your storage by streaming your music to you. They're really wanting to move things into the cloud.
Sorry I couldn't be more help

Some say...
You can always give Dropbox or Minus a try for cloud file storage.

Having a 16GB OG Droid, and also using it for both multimedia and file stoarge I can understand your concern. I simply keep a close eye on available capacity and move non-critical filesto a PC. as my mobile access needs change I move different files back and forth.
It's really not that big of a hassle. How many seasons of Star Trek do I really need on my phone anyway?

I can understand the issue. There is a MASSIVE CHASM of a disconnect between the phone manufactures, OS makers, and the service providers.
#1 Service Providers (VZW, Sprint, AT&T, etc) want to limit bandwidth and total network traffic by only offering 2GB and 4GB. Fortunately, I am grandfathered into unlimited
#2 Phone manufacturers want to skimp on total storage to keep their cost down. You can argue that an SD slot is not that much, but it is an added cost to the device.
#3 Google and Apple want to move to Cloud services. This requires network traffic that can end up being large. This is where the contradiction is with the service providers. If Cloud is being promoted as a major player, the service providers should be on board with that decision as well.

I got that - that this is an attempt for Google/Apple to push all data to the cloud.
As a previous owner of Iphone, I thought Apple were the ones who prevented usability and that Google was all against that. Neither did they add a SD slot to this monster, nor are they giving out information when or even if they will give out a 32gb version.
16gb might work out. But I think 32gb is perfect for my needs. Seeing how I dont want to go around and think about storage issues.
SUCKS
