ok so really, i just got my G1 yesteday. i love it yesterday. while i've installed custom OS's and done stuff like that on my old windows mobile phone, i kind of just wanted to stick with the regular factory G1 (at laest for now) and not root it...
so i have a 2gb microSD and i was thinking about switching over to an 8gb one so I can add a nice sized mp3 collection as well...
i have 2 questions:
1) let's say i start downloading some apps and games, putting on mp3s and taking pictures, etc etc etc in the meantime until i get the 8gb card, will i just be able to transfer over everything from the 2gb to the 8gb card (i'm guessing just temporarily copy it all over to a folder on my pc and then copy from there over to the new 8gb card), and everything will be just the same as it was.
2) and i know this makes question 1 sound kinda dumb, but i'm under the impression from reading the forums that it's impossible (without rooting the phone) to specify where apps and games and whatnot download to... so what exactly happens when you have a whole bunch of stuff downloaded? i mean i haven't even really gone crazy with downloading games and apps yet, and i can tell this is going to be an addiction haha. so does my internal memory just get full and then the system gets bogged down, and all you can do is delete the apps (and redownload them later i suppose) to free up space when you have multiple gbs of freespace sitting on the sd card? kinda a little confused on that one... can anyone help me out here?
and yes i am searching the forums right now but not quite getting the answers i'm trying to find... thanks for the help.
