i feel jealous that they have 72 MB for programs, can we do something similar ? like cut 10 MB from the storage and add it to the programs ( like they did in PDA2k) ....
what you all think about it ?

The memory structure of the Wizard is different and doesn't allow us to do that.

the AT&T tilt has 256 MB flash memory

yeah, now when i think about it - people thought about it before me , i feel it's like a stupid question :p

Well since we're on this subject... Has anyone been able to figure out a way to take the extended Rom space effectively turn it into free memory? Most new Roms don't utilize that space in any way at all. It just kinda sits there. Kinda like a "Big Storage" Rom if anyone knows what I mean?

That's an interesting thought dlharvey.

Well that's what I was thinking. I personally do not have a wizard anymore because of an unfortunate toilet accident... Don't ask, it's embarrassing.

BUT... I plan on getting another one eventually and I think that a "Big Storage" Rom is something that might be possible and if it is, then I think all new wizard Roms should be so since they do not use an extended Rom.

how much it's the extended rom ? like 10 MB , right ?
i would love to have another 10 MB for programs :)

Well if you do the math, you have 128 megabytes of ROM on the device and most Roms are what? 5X megabytes? that should leave us with 6X-7X megabytes of space left over but you don't. It's more like 4X-5X Megabytes so the Extended Rom space has to be around 10-20 Megabytes and to have that as extra space to install apps would be ideal since I have not come across a Rom that utilizes the extended rom space to date with the exception of faria's...

well, i'm sure there is something we can do. the PDA aint much different than the HTC, and they did the same trick on the PDA2k
