It is partitioned, so flashing ROMs leaves your virtual sdcard alone.

There is an exception to this, unlocking (and locking too I would assume) the bootloader does a complete wipe, including the sdcard partition. So prior to unlocking your bootloader, get everything off the phone you want. It isn't really a bad idea to make this one of the first things you do once you get your phone, that way you don't lose much.

Yep! :biggrin:

Is the memory partitioned (like Razr), so that so much is reserved for the OS, so much is reserved for Apps, the rest storage? Or is it all together without limits on each category?

It is partitioned similarly at least. I am not 100% familiar with the Razr though, so it could be off but yes there is a different partition for OS.

I believe that the internal memory of the Razr has about 3gb for apps, 8 for additional storage.

Could you tell me which of those numbers you listed is for apps?
