just wondering how you guys are determining what program should be installed in main or storage card? does it make any difference anymore?

I try to install as many programs as I can onto my storage card..The only programs that get installed to my phone are the ones that NEED to be.

I installed almost every program into the storage card, the ones i install into the main are the ones i need even when i have removed the storage card from de device, for example those that auto update from internet conection like system seven or weather panel they still work even if i have removed the storage card from de device...

To elaborate on the above post a bit, only those programs that are accessed on startup need to be installed to device memory (i.e anything appearing on your Today screen)

i just install everything to the main. guess once i start using the 8gig card i have i may remove what i have installed and the just save them to the card.

I usually put larger programs on my card and ones that I wouldn't need should the sd card not be in the phone for a period of time.

the rule to go by is this: if it is an app that uses the today screen, put it in main mem, or if the install say that it's required, put it in main mem.

everything else can go to storage/internal...
