Got my phone a week ago. It's nothing fancy, comes with a slim 162mb of internal storage (it was $60, I'm not going to complain), and a 2gig sd card (upgradable to 32).
I seem to be making quick use of that internal space, despite moving as much as I can to the SD Card. When I first got it, I spent a few days just going crazy, trying different apps and seeing exactly what I could do with it. Then I did a factory reset and started from scratch, this time just trying to limit it to stuff I'd actually use.
On the factory reset, it was using only 30-35 megs (leaving about 130 free). As of last night, I had a comfortable 40 megs free. I go to check a text message a couple minutes ago and I'm now at 16 megs free, and getting a "Low On Space" warning.
Any app (save for the tiny widgets I use for a battery monitor and to enable/disable wifi and data plans) I can move to the SD card, is on the SD card.
I'd like to remove some of the bundled apps (Docs To Go and the service provider's wifi app), as they seem to be some of the biggest apps on the phone, but I'd need to root my phone for that, right? From what I can tell, that's currently not possible (I've tried every established method/utility I could find, SuperOneClick gives me a "The following devices to not have drivers installed..." message, and then hangs on step #7 for a while before failing).
Basically, I'm just wondering if there's anything I should be doing to make the most of my limited space, what I can do to get rid of unnecessary data (or if someone has experience with rooting this phone).
Thanks, guys.
Edit:: Just powered my phone off and started it back up and now I'm using less than 60mb.......
