Who in their right mind would only leave 500mb on a "high end" phone these days?

Or 190mb in the case of the N1...

I'm not sure how it is supposed to work, but I was only able to move 1 of the installed apps to the SD card. The others didn't have the option.

Ouch. But you have 2.2 so you can install apps to your sdcard. Are you able to move them or do you have to reinstall?

App2SD only works if the developer puts a line of code in to the program to enable it... and alas it seems like many are too... preoccupied? to do that one line.


Granted I know all apps can't be installed to SD, but for many there is little reason to not have that ability.

Every design decision is a compromise. Do you think they really made this decision to spite you and for no good reason?

Yes?



I'm trying to find out where the compromise was to have sub-1gb, let alone less than 200mb, of internal storage since back when these phones were being designed the ONLY way to have a program installed was on internal storage.
