I know this is an old thread, but it sure does not beat iPhone on memory. 8 gigs is the smallest of the Apple products, and its not even internal on the EVO. (If apple is even doing 8 gigs anymore.
If they are going to include 8 gigs, I'd rather it be internal, and let me buy the SD card of my choosing.
Being forced to manage apps due to the lack of memory really is a deal breaker, especially with the disk memory leak in the contacts app. Sure more apps will become compatible with off loading to SD cards, but frequently the SD card can become inaccessible when plugged into the PC. I'd like to be able to let the PC access it anytime its plugged in. vs. have the pop up appear every time I plug in and then I must choose phone vs pc.... I can't set it to a default because sometimes I need to access via the PC, and sometimes I need to make sure the phone does not break. STUPID STUPID STUPID. Plus I plug in to PC's a lot so yes it does get annoying.
