it all seems confusing now yet so clear...
- SRAM
- RAM
- flash memory
- application memory
- device memory
- on board storage
- Persistent storage
- RMS or RS memory (record store)
- FileConnection (file storage)
i want this action from RIM if possible as a firmware-software-OS update:

"Move the partition over away from the 1gig media section. Make it 50/50 instead of 128/86x."

however, other guys here at BBF, said that it is not 12.5% to 87.5% like stated or how i believed, but that there is a separate 128 MB section for application memory and then there is a 1 GB portion...which section are the applications using? part of the 1 GB in a zone of 128 MB, or a separate entity of 128 MB? i do not know, but whichever it is, we DO know that it is limited to just 128 MB...that's not much or really in the Storm's case enough especially when compared to other competing smartphones and it's definitely not what was advertised to me when i purchased my phone....
also, i checked today and i don't know if either memory design case is necessarily true...i cannot confirm nor deny either memory design from my own empirical analysis on my own phone because my application memory and remaining memory on my 1 GB onboard storage correlate each other perfectly for the second memory design case...
i would say that it is more likely the 12.5% to 87.5% ratio instead of the separate memory spaces...but i need to know more about the file system to know how much of that 1 GB space is being used in partition formatting that is reducing my supposed 1 GB of onboard storage to ~870 MB...i have nothing stored in the onboard section...i always have chosen my videos and pictures to store to the external card...
has anybody else checked their device memory to see how much of it is free? do you have any photos/videos or music stored on your onboard memory? is the number around ~870 MB?
