However, look at this PC Magazine review of the phone:

And look at the (much worse) CNET review of the phone:
http://www.cnet.com/products/lg-optimus-l9-t-mobile/

While they did correctly summarize that the T-Mobile L9
"comes preloaded with too much bloatware, they never
stated that there was only 600MB of usable storage space
for apps.

They repeated, in the so-called review "the L9 has way
too much bloatware", but they never said how much was
left for them, as a user, to store apps.

And this reptition don't spur you to find an answer to your question
yourself?

Where, if not the sources previously listed, might one look for this
information? Thus far nobody has answered that question.

If you read a dozen articles and NOBODY mentions the fact that (a)
there's not a lot of internal memory available to additional apps the
user might want to download and (b) that the external sdcard can't be
used to run applications, there's no reason to suspect that either of
those things might be true.

But when they say there is too much bloatware, won't you wonder what
the consequences of that were?

Annoyance at having to delete it just so you don't have to look at it.
Like ads. I'm not going to respond to them and I just don't want to
look at them. I'm trying to decide whether I would assume they took up
significant amounts of space or not, but I'm leaning toward "How could a
company be stupid enough to put all this crap on something if it keeps
users from doing something else that they want to do?"

Um, the advertisers pay them to do so? Of course they do.

How about asking on the section for the phone of interest on any of
the more than a few android forums. Of course if you don't trust
anyone, then no source will be of value.

Good writers who don't say something stupid or that I know to be wrong
get more trust. Most people are assholes. Haven't you discovered that?

Or willful idiots.

Considering the fact that they glossed over the fact
there was only 600MB of usable memory, can you blame
a naive consumer for thinking what they do?

They'd never sell the phone if they told the truth!
