Who's the ***** who decided that the world's capacities should be in Base 10, when the world of bits N bytes is ruled in Base 2?

Any larger apps will install under /opt (which is a symlink to /home/opt), which provides 2GB so should be enough. It's only smaller apps (or those in the -devel or -testing repositories which haven't yet been optified) which will use up the root filesystem space.
There's also currently a bug when installing multiple applications where the downloaded data isn't properly deleted after installing (until after a reboot), which can lead to running out of free space temporarily. This should be fixed with the next firmware though.

In this case, Nokia is no worse than Apple for fooling people into thinking that Snow Leopard gave them more disk space, when in reality they changed from Base 2 to Base 10. These tech companies must think we're all ignorant tools.
