Back when I bought my phone I’d have liked at least double the memory and storage, but I figured 512MB RAM and 1GB built-in storage should do the trick. In 2014 that assumption somewhat breaks down. You can run e.g. CyanogenMod completely without the space-guzzling Google apps because most of what you want is on F-Droid, but with SystemCleanup you can simply force big apps like Dropbox, Google Maps, and Google Search to live on your SD card. I imagine it simply does some symlinking under the hood, but it’s easier this way. Of course, on slower SD cards this will be way too slow, but what’s cheaper anyway? A €30 new fast microSD card or a €300 new phone (in which you can probably reuse your microSD card when you eventually buy one).
