It'd be better if from the box Android allowed apps to be dumped onto the SD card like it does for pics etc I'll agree.

But remember compared to just about every OS out there, Android and apps that run on it are fairly light mem consumption wise.

Just like with PC's. You may need 4gb RAM and 250gb drives to get windows to run decently these days, but 4gb RAM and 250gb drive in a linux machine is pretty overkill.

If you think the X3 is a decent step forward from Nokia, you'll be deeply upset. As a Nokia man of some 14 years solidly, even I can see Android is a much better option out of everything out there or planned upto summer.
