This has been a large problem not only with SmartPhones but also WM Pro devices as well. The only device available with a generous amount of Storage is the HTC Advantage, which can't really be construed as a phone, no matter how you slice it. No wonder people are so fascinated with the iPhone. You can actually use it as it was intended out of the box without having spend even more money just for a reasonable amount of memory to store music, pictures, etc. in.
Is there some sort of grand conspiracy among Motorola, HTC, Samsung, HP and MS that prevents one of them from releasing a reasonable sized multi-media phone that has 8 GB of flash memory? If not, then I say there must be some sort of OS limitation that still exists in WM preventing them from releasing this sort of device. Otherwise, how can all of these, otherwise successful, companies be this ignorant about these devices' capabilities and potential market?
