Nexus S has 1GB ROM/internal storage

---

So there is no slot for memory card in Nexus S,was hoping that atleast the memory distribution would have been like the Galaxy S which has got 1.83GB of internal storage for games/apps,which is quite a lot.

But apparently{quite surprisingly} Nexus S has got just 1GB{0.95GB to be exact} as the internal storage.

It has 16 gb actually

android_master meant for installation on "internal" memory the 16gb is partitioned to make a mountable "sdcard" style partition for the PC so it could be used for froyo style apps to sd but its kinda dumb to have to do it that way

hopefully when we get root (hopefully its as simple as the N1) we can flash a partition change that increases "internal" memory

You won't fill up 1gb of apps o.O. Even then, there's enough that can be moved to the sdcard.

the problem with that therory is that just today google released a blog entry about the new market updates and how they are increasing the limit of app size to 50mb with more and more game devs coming to android that 1 gig will fill up fast and because the 14gb partition is fat32 there will be, albeit it negligible, a slowdown with apps on sd

i'm wondering too if it would be possible to change the internal partitions to make, say, 8 GB internal and 8 GB "emulated sd"... will be interesting to find out

anything is possible . depends on if the 1gb and 16 gb are partitions of the same space or if they are separate. if separate, is there a way to switch it so the 16 gb is read as the primary internal and the 1gb as the "emulated sd". I'm thinking in terms of separate computer hard drives to make sense of it in my mind.

Move to SD card! Most games or big apps will have that feature, since many devices come with around 1-1.5 GB of ROM.

it's one 16GB card inside, around 1GB is for system storage, 1GB for Apps and 13.3GB for the sd card.

You can't screw around with the system storage part, but repartitioning it would allow you to change about 14GB of it. To which if you wanted you could do 7/7. but that would be pretty dumb since no one will ever fill up 7GB in the data partition.

If you seriously think your going to be downloading a lot of 50MB apks, then changing the data to 2-3GB would be best, leaving 10GB for the sd card partition.

And obviously, this is all assuming we can even do it. I think 1GB+Apps2SD should be fine.
