It appears that the memory issue that you've described before, took another hit [thanks to the latest firmware]
I think it already took a hit before this firmware was released because several standalone crypto apps increased in size significantly. Bitcoin's app is a particularly big one.

The thing is that after the firmware update there are no apps at all and it asks if you want to reinstall them. If there's no space for them, some may not be reinstalled and I don't know if it returns a proper error message or not.
Of course, that's just logical. You can't fit more apps than it's theoretically possible.

Memory is not a problem at all. Install and Uninstall those apps take literally 10 seconds and you wouldn't be doing that so frequently (if you are, you are doing something wrong)
If you bought a hardware wallet with limited storage capabilities, why complain about the wallet's limited storage capabilities? The software will of course get bigger in size with new features, fixes, and improvements. How can you expect that won't reduce the available space?   

About LED , plastic, etc, that is what you pay for. Ledger nano is extremely cheap.
Exactly. You bought a plastic hardware wallet with LED display of a very small size. Live with it or purchase one made of a stronger material and bigger screen.


The biggest problem with this upgrade, if it turns out to be true, would be that the Fido U2F app no longer works. NeuroticFish has already shown that he can find it amongst the installable apps. The only question now is whether or not it works. Does anyone know if there are issues if this app gets installed/reinstalled?
