I am mulling over getting the M8, HTC state that this phone comes in 16gb or 32gb versions. All the carriers in the UK seem to be selling the 16gb only, and this seems to be the trend with all the latest top end phones. If I get the 16gb version HTC state that about 10gb of it is usable after the operating system. This leaves about 10gb for installing apps and cache etc..
My current phone is the HTC One X which has 32gb of storage but is partitioned to allow only 6.76gb for app storage which I have filled up with...
"apps 1.43gb"
"other 5.06gb"
...an extra 3.59gb of apps on the apps to sd card feature.
If this was on the new M8 then my storage would become limited again.
If I buy a top end phone I don't expect to have restrictions on internal storage like that and it infuriates me that the carriers are not selling the 32gb versions. Its all very well saying buy a micro SD card but you can't install apps on it.
Why are there no 32gb versions available and what are your experiences so far with the M8 storage?
