Question about internal memory

---

OK, the box says 512MB storage, but thats shared obviously. When I open Linda File Manager, It says Applications: 42M / 145M, indicating I've use 42megs out of 145megs... My question is what and how is it determining my total internal memory is 145megs?

wouldn't it be nice if these companies would tell us how much memory we have for programs instead of these numbers that include what's used for the system, etc., etc.? and it's not just htc, they pretty much all do it........'blah blah blah, comes with 1 GIG of ram' , lol....then you get home, install 3 apps and are out of memory.....greatly exaggerated of course, but you get the idea

Thats true. I'm not really griping about this one though since Froyo will seem to take care of that. I'm just wondering how it came to 145...

It's just the portion of RAM HTC partitioned for us to use for apps. I don't know if there is rhythm or reason for it but I guess 145 is the magic number they gave us.

Or it could be due to all of the bloatware T-Mo threw on the handset taking up the rest of the space, although it seems like those pre-installed apps shouldn't be taking up THAT much space.

i was expecting more memory for programs but can live with this for now.....not like there's much choice, haha

It looks like the 512MB is partitioned into /system, /cache, and /data.
