Are the cons regarding lack of memory to install apps valid or are users just being too picky? I'm in between this phone&the Samsung Victory. Which?

This phone is junk. The memory problem is very true. I have 4 apps loaded and have constant warnings about out of storage. I don't think I should have to upgrade to use the phone. I have had it about 8 months and can't wait to get rid of it. In addition sound quality is bad. I hate to talk on it. Best features are battery life and you can text easily.

I have only been able to add a couple apps. Does not hold many at all and does not support apps on the memory card. Also it shows i have 10% Available in memory but wont let me add even a 2mb ringtone. I do not recommend this phone.

The other users haven't done their homework. If you get this phone you should definitely root it and install Link2SD (pay for the upgrade, its around $3 and it lets you move all data from apps to the sd card). The only limitations you will have at this point is the size app you want to download. I have around 600mb free on my internal storage, so therefore I can only download apps up to that size and then I can move them to the sd card and they will launch from there. Link2SD is a life saver and rooting this phone is extremely easy compared to other devices. Simply Google search: LG Optimus F3 saferoot.apk. Enjoy! The other users haven't done their homework.

It's a very real problem for me. I can only install a handful of applications (less than 10) that I want. I had to uninstall chrome (which I loved) because it took up 1/3 of my usable internal storage.

I am very happy with my LG Op, however, the storage is a problem. Once a month having to clear downloads and cached data just to have enough space.

Its a real problem, unless you want to go through the process that Tim has mentioned. For me, I'd rather buy a phone that works out of the box than spend precious time to root it. And just to find enough space to root the phone, and add apps that will eventually be move to the SD, I still have to temporarily get rid of other apps that I need for work. It would be different if google didn't fill the memory with so much stuff that is worthless to me.

The Galaxy Prevail has such limited internal memory that it hardly qualifies as a smartphone. You can store media on a memory card, but apps must go in the internal memory. Downloading one or two apps causes the phone to start displaying out of memory messages.

I use 32MB SD Card and I install a application that moves everything to it (App 2 SD Card). By doing that I keep the phone with enough space all the time and it will not affect the performance. My phone is Start N8000. It works fine.

I would. The phone has VERY limited memory. If you add even 7 apps there's an issue. I was not happy with it at all.

Mine was an N9 with 64Gb of memory (which I strongly recommend) and came 100% unlocked. The box contained the phone, plus literature, a very fine and nearly invisible soft protection cover, charger with plug adaptor (ugly part) plus some connection cable. Pity that when MIcrosoft started supportuing Nokia to adopt Windows they killed this highly developed Meego OS which is kind of a deadend story (except perhaps by Jolla developers, an ex-Nokia engineers adventure)

You should look on Youtube for instructions on how to install Google Play or the play store. I've been using mine with no problem, excepts that it wont install the largest apps (1MB or more)

i returned the phone because the operating system was outdated. the phone has limited storage space but an sd memory card came with it. you cant install many apps because the memory will run out. not a good phone and battery doesnt last.

I've had this phone for less than a month but so far, I've had no issues.I opted to buy from Amazon instead of Virgin Mobile because it was $50 cheaper.I have not regretted that decision. Shipping was swift and Virgin Mobile had no issues activating the phone.Keep in mind; you will need to purchase a micro SD card for memory if you plan to store music, apps, and/or lots of photos and videos. I recommend getting this at the same time as your phone. Short answer: totally satisfied with this phone.

Am having this same problem and it low on memory space also that with the 32gb SD card. I cannot download anything with it tell me "low on memory space" I won't recommend this phone tablet to anyone...

as with most devices you need to keep the memory cleaned up best as you can. a simple answer would be no, most phones do not have memory such as a home pc. I would periodically delete unwanted or unnecessary information . The main reason I like this phone is the simplicity of it

It supports most apps I used but it doesn't have much memory space so I upgraded to the galaxy s3. Hope this helps.

Hard to say, since I have no direct comparison, but it always seems that when I have more than a couple apps open, the thing lags like crazy. And without any apps open, the system crap takes up more than half the memory. Also, I recently got a Galaxy Note 3, which has 3GB of RAM. Although it's kind of apples and oranges, this thing blows the TF700 out of the water. It's true that there are other differences than just the RAM, but I have the distinct feeling that that is one of the major determining factors.

Not sure about the Brightside... But, I do NOT recommend the Samsung Reality. Love Samsung. Loved the Reality... User friendly and great overall phone, but went through two Realities in one and a half years due to problems with their charging mechanism. Eventually would not hold a charge... After research, I found it's a problem with the model. Most likely why it was discontinued.

If you root the phone and add up to a 32GB microcard, the phone will use part of the card as internal memory. You can install lots of apps. The only issue I am running into is many newer apps require Android 4.0, and this phone is Android 2.3.5.

It's got plenty of memory for apps, I used the phone for about 3 months and really liked it. I loved the slim size and has amazing screen. The battery just doesn't last that long and not having LTE became an issue for me

Not a lot of internal....real problem. Lots of stuff preinstalled can't uninstall. I love the phone except for the memory...you have a lot of card memory but can't transfer most apps.

The problem with this phone is it's small internal memory. It doesn't matter the size of the SD card, after a while Google products are going to full up the internal storage and your phone will get bugged down.
