Everybody posting must only be using very high end phones with lots of internal memory. Drop down from that and you will quickly learn that you are very restricted to how many Apps you can run. I'd say that a phone without at least 1 Gig of internal memory should not considered and 2 Gigs would be much better. (What good is a plug in SD memory of perhaps 16 Gigs when a large number of Apps only can be run on internal memory?)
You make a very good point which makes it equally important that the phone have an easy to use and effective Task Manager or equivalent. I have never used more than 80% of my 1 Gig of internal memory even though I use several apps.
