Audiovox SMT 5600 / SPV C500 (HTC Typhoon)
Memory
I'm new to smartphones, but anyone (winhack?) want to explain what's the difference between storage memory and program memory (as opposed and different from the flash storage memory). Any way to rotate between the two. The 5600 seems to have 23mb of total memory, with 1.4mb of storage memory and 21.6mb of program memory.
What does these requirements mean in terms of 3rd party software (games, apps, etc.) that can be put on the phone?

All Windows Mobile-based devices (PDAs and Smartphones alike) are designed with "shared internal memory". That means that they have one block of internal memory (memory soldered directly to the device's circuit board, cannot be upgraded or changed by a user) that they use as both RAM and HD. What they do is partition that memory into storage memory and program memory. Again, ALL Windows-Mobile-based devices do this, not just this phone.
To make this clear, a current-day typical Windows-based PDA has 64mb of USER memory. That usually means that 32mb of it will act as storage and 32mb of it will act as RAM (even though technically it's all RAM).
Obviously you can augment this by adding various memory expansion cards (SD, MMC, CF, etc.) ...
