ok, when the phone boots up initially what happens is that it will read the internal memory first and than the card. you can install games to the card but all apps i would recommend to be installed to the main memory unless instructed otherwise. if you have an app and its needed on bootup you will prolly face errors and annoying popups left and right and the app may not even open, so as a rule of thumb jsut games on the card. as for the battery life having more jsut slows you down and wont effect the battery life, the main things that effects battery life is having the apps running in the background and not using a task manager to close them, your radio will also effect the battery life, as well as your signal strength in your area, on top of that roaming and anything under 3 bars will continuously search for better signal causing battery drain thus the reason to try different radios and flash them to your phone.
