agreed, some apps like oisafe don't allow you to browse for importing databases and such, looks only in sdcard...had me scratching my head for awhile.

the other thing is when I connect it to my mac i get 3 drives mounted, and of course the names are of no help: untitled, mot, and...oh i forget right now, will edit post later, got no cable with me to connect and look

Internal storage = 8gb
Application storage = 4gb
MotoBLUR / OS = 4gb

there's your 16gb internal total

going from the D1 to this took me a little getting used to on this
but now that I know where to poke my head it's not so bad

If you have rooted, in Root Explorer you can see that the sdcard = internal and sdcard-ext = installed sdcard. Cache is located at the root level internally. In Root Explorer, the path is just '/'. You can click Mount RW and add or create the .nomedia file there, I think.
