Might be, but still doubt that any recent phone has slow internal memory. Anyway SD cards rule

Will try if it works on Symbian as well this weekend

Internal is just crap. And expensive. Those 32GB chips definitely drive the price up. Give us enough internal memory to allow the phone run then just throw in an 8gb card. Easy to replace if it gets corrupted, cheaper to replace, choose your size, swappable between devices. Best way to go. Apple don't get it

External storage like SD cards are not easy to handle for applications, no fixed spot for their data. It is possible though. Until you swap the card

the trick to battery life on Android is to switch to 2G when the phone isn't in use. Tell him to try it

I will, thanks for the advice

I get about 50% more battery life out of my dext. Had a big improvement with the Hero too. He can get a little widget for his home screen so only 1 tap required to toggle from 2g-3g

Allright, will Google that one. Or say to him he needs to Google it lol. Sounds good

Yep makes massive difference if the phone does not switch automatically (mostly due to open apps / widgets)

Pretty sure Android is flawed in regards to switching bands. It will sit all day with a 1 bar 3G signal, chewing through the battery as it tries to scan for a new cell tower. It should switch to 2G at full strength meaning better coverage and less battery work. It just will not do it properly
