If you do you'll get my vote!

It seems that the crippled File Manager application has resulted in the creation of (or at least the need for) the bogus Memory applet, consequently the memory applet only reports on the directories that can be "seen" by the dumbed down File Manager app.

While I have some sympathy for this situation, the Memory Applet should at least offer a way to truly reflect how much free memory I have on my device (perhaps an "advanced" mode) or better yet just forget about the stupid File Manager and report the truth! It's ridiculous that the memory applet tells me I have tons of free memory when the Application Manager is telling me the complete opposite and whenever I try to install an app it fails due to "insufficient memory"!

The inconsistency here is breath taking and it's another of those brain dead design decisions that Nokia appear prepared to defend to the death.
