One of my biggest complaints about the N1 has always been with the lack of internal memory. I have been dealing with the "Low Storage" warning for over a year now and have become quite aware of the effects it has on the phone. The following are observations, I am not a programmer so I can't explain why the phone works this way:
-The "Low Storage" warning doesn't seem to come up on a specific number. At times it will come up under 20mb, while I have seen it go down to 16mb without a warning.
-Once I get the "Low Storage" warning my gmail notifications no longer work and new emails will not load. I can see in my box that there are new incoming messages but I can not actually see the message.
-The gtalk notifications and messages no longer come up either.
-GPS becomes erratic and less accurate. This is the latest item that I have noticed. Two weeks I was playing golf for a few days in a row and was using an app to give me distance to the hole. It worked fine the first day, but then I downloaded something and it brought up the "Low Storage" warning. The next day I tried using the app and my location was all over the place and at times the GPS "icon" would go off without my interference. I promptly deleted the app and everything went back to normal.
Nothing is more frustrating about this phone then the lack of storage. I haven't able to install apps in a long time and even had to uninstall a lot of my favorite apps. I really hope to see the next Nexus soon.
