You can use the "Storage Usage" app to highlight which installed apps take up root space. You can check on the available rootfs space by running (in X Terminal): "df -h /"

As long as you avoid the extras-devel and (to a lesser extent) extras-testing, you should have no issues installing more than 20 programs - I currently have about 70 installed. Any app in the Ovi store, or the maemo.org repository, should be "optified" - this means that most (if not all) of the data is installed under /opt (which is on the 32GB eMMC, not on the 256MB rootfs).

It should be stored on the bigger storage... or have an option like other nokia devices have to choose the memory... at least this is what my common sense tells me...
All user data should be stored within the /home directory, including e-mails, SMS, etc. This is on a 2GB partition..
