Google and tmobile need to give the g1 an update that will allow app and text message storage on the sd card. The device storage is so low that app developers are suffering. As a g1 user, I cannot download any more apps…even though I would pay for them. I simply have no storage to spare. I’m seriously considering rooting my g1 so that I can store apps on my sd card, although I’ve read that this only partially fixes the problem as a portion of the app must still be cached on the device in order for the g1 to access and run the app. I’m severely disappointed with the device storage of the g1. I love the android market, but I’m so jealous of my iPhone user friends who have tons of apps on their device. Does the nexus fix this issue? I dislike that the nexus does not have a qwerty keyboard, so I haven’t invested in one as of yet…get on it tmobile and google…let us store apps to the sd card without rooting our phones!

kris, my old A780 could store apps on the SD card. This isn’t a new idea.

Hi, slightly off topic, but does anyone know the partition sizes of the HTC Hero and the T-Mobile Pulse?

Root your phone. It’s not obsolete.

I have 432 meg total, 331meg available space for apps install, 7.5 gig on the FAT32 sdcard partition, my internal “data” partition has 64 mb free, not that it gets much use.

I’m running the cyanogen mod, w/apps2sd working, fast and easy. Also, I can now do wifi tether and VPN.

My cache is empty, so I could still do an OTA update if I wanted with a custom ROM. No need to mess with the SPL, just move the tons of media off the phone onto the sdcard..

There are lots of options, all available today, but don’t wait for T-Mobile.. do it yourself.

Root your phone, get over it.

I personally don’t think there gonna leave g1 users hanging …. I think there gonna do what the iphone is doing …giving us small updates at a time …the installing apps on the sdcard might be coming just like the iphones finally getting mms messaging..your going by what people who do not work for tmobil , htc, or google are saying…I love the g1 …I mean I wish I could have multitouch and a flash player but other then that I’m fine the way it is ..if we do get more updates awesome ..if not ill wait till my contract is up and get a future android device.. but I don’t think there gonna give up on the g1…and every phone has its own unique. Options right? Maybe the g1 will be the only phone that will be able to save apps to the sd card..who knows…I’m not giving up hope yet..and I’m not gonna stop liking the phone just cause I don’t get any updates..
