The extensive and detailed Michal Jerz preview of the N900 at My-Symbian (http://my-symbian.com/other/preview_n900.php) showed up what seems to be a HUGE PROBLEM in this otherwise terrific device. Jerz found out that in spite of the huge 32gb of internal memory, only 256mb are defined for "installable aplications", as you can see in the picture below. Well, if this limitation happens to be maintained in the final N900 release, we can say it will be an ENORMOUS DRAWBACK in the device, since Jerz was able to easily fill the entire 256mbs dedicated to 3rd party software, and needed to uninstall several programs in order to test new ones. How come does Nokia do that to a device with so much potential? Does Nokia desire to bury the pontenciality of the N900 right from scratch, just like it did to the N97 which could have been a cutting edge smartphone but, instead, was granted the outdated ARM11 with no GPU and only 128Mb of RAM?
