is the internal storage of this hp 1gb?

i keep thinking that internal storage is better than card storage, is it true or is the same?

internal storage is faster of course but it is limited, according to specs internal is 2 gb. card is mainly to store larger files such as game data, videos, mp3 files, etc. you can store apps in SD card also but it is slower and bootup time u have to wait for the app to load up (if you store in sd) before you can use it.

so you mean those phones that come with big internal storage has an advantage of running apps faster compared to lets say sony which dont even have 1gb internal storage (heavily rely on sd)?

i think you are messing up the storage memory and ram memory. fyi, this phone only has 512 MB of RAM, and systems taking up some RAMs to run the OS or anything, so you wont get full 512 MB to use.

Actually I was aiming for SGSII or Galaxy Nexus but have to really save up a lot for it since they cost a lot more than Galaxy W.

My main concern is actually how well the web browsing performs as this might be my primary use. I like the smoothness and fluidity of scrolling/multi touch pinch to zoom in the SGS II a lot actually, but surprisingly this phone performs similarly! So yeah, most probably going to get this phone perhaps, somewhere early next year. Better for wallet as I need to fund for other stuffs too tongue.gif

And btw TS, would appreciate if you could make a proper main page for this thread smile.gif

yes i meant what i said - sunway pyramid HAS a white unit. That's the only white unit i saw so far today, the rest shops looks like carrying the black/grey model. this shop charging 999 retail price but 2 years warranty. for me, i dont mind if pay a bit more for 2 years even though many around are charging 899 for 2 years too, but i lazy to go so far also..troublesome.

white iz rare.. i asked the shop guy yesterday and they say no white models cry.gif
what shop is that bro? samsung store ah?
