Questions answered (internal memory and application installation)

Q1: How much internal storage do we get, how much do we get to play with?
Ans: About 170 MB. Almost all of it is available for our usage. Some of it is used for the phone numbers and messages.(I've got about 136 MB left free)

Q2: Is the application installation source doing good?
Ans: Yes. Very well in-fact. The android market comes as a pre-installed application, using which we can install other applications. The phone has not yet shown any failed installation(partly because i was a bit careful with the applications, and read the comments of other users).
An alternate way to install apps is to download the .apk files from the source(application author) and copy them to your phone sd card. This is where the installation might fail with reasons like version mismatch or the hardware requirments not met. Just be careful while installing .apk files.

I would also like to thank one of the blog readers, manish, for providing answers to one of the an earlier questions post.
