and that is very sad for all the "simple" and "ordinary" user... why is it so complicated to make an option like: store in phone-memory/on sd-card???

because on linux systems you not supposed to choose folder to install packages

rainisto, this is what everyone will do after using the cell for a while. While bash in the cell is nice to have, it is no excuse for bad design. Bad design means lack of really basic features in the common user environment.
coderus, are you serious? lfs, aur, copper, ... does not match the topic and is wrong, afaik.

serious. apps binaries and resources are installed under /usr and you can't just choose where to install. for example N900 had hacks to "optifying" packages and they were installed to /opt directory, which can be mounted to sdcard, but this trick should be performed for each package you want to install to sdcard.

On my device it takes ages (several minutes) to mount the sd card after reboot. So I'm not sure whether it's a good idea to install an app to external storage.
