Would 10gb be enough for me?

Question

Would 10gb be enough for me?
I am planning to get the HTC One S but annoyingly it doesn't have expandable memory and it says it comes with 16gb but i hear you can only use 10 as the rest is already occupied. For what I need would 10gb be enough?

90 songs
160 pictures
50 apps
15 short max 5mins videos
200 contacts

SHOULD be fine....however it all depends on the music,picture, and video quality.

just to give you an idea.
90, 4 minute sons ripped at 320kb/s is going to be 6.3 gb

i have 104 apps on my phone and they are using 1.2 GB of space

I have over 500 5 mp pictures on my phone and they are only using .8gb

Contacts are all stored in the cloud so that wont take up any space

as for the videos, that is hard to say.  but i would say a 5 minute video would be about .1 gb for a 720P video

there are some alternatives though.  if you dont necessarily need the music and videos local, you can use the "cloud"
google has their own music player wich allows you to upload 20,000 (yes you read that right) songs to the cloud for free and you can play them as long as you have a data connection.

also there is always youtube for the videos...upload them and keep them private if you need to so only you can see them.  then you just need a connection.

google + also has instant upload so you can always have your pictures or videos stored there as well.

the only problem with the "cloud" is that it is eating your data limit away if you have one so you have to be a little carful...but there are options out there.

The songs, pictures, and contacts for sure will fit. 
15 short videos will also fit, but then you will not have enough space for the 50 apps.
