Yeah don't see where you could blame anyone on this earth for ranting about the wildfire s. Thanks for your help as I do appreciate it and I also tossed you a cookie as well. LOL Honestly you must admit that whoever invented this phone was still living in the stone age for damn sure.

1. Have you rooted the phone
2. Have you use App2SD
3. Have you update the OS to the latest one
I have done all these 3 steps for my wife's phone & she is little more happier than before as the phone won't prompt her anymore again internal memory lacking problem.
** note: Seems step 3 made the magic on expanding more usable memory as far as I noticed after the OS upgrade.
For me, I am not geeks so I won't load in completely new/another ROM but doing above 1,2 & 3 seems sufficient for the time being. However, if you are kind of trying to install many new apps for fun/experiencing my situation seems not your cup of tea as memory I gained is merely sufficient for my wife daily use without heavily downloading other new apps. (she is not geeks for DL apps, but Whatapps, handcent she is still needing it & need to DL)
