On my GTA04A4 NAND is still quite empty. I definitely like it to know that 
the phone contains not one bit when SD card is removed. It gives me a very 
strong feeling of being the master of all bits of my phone that no other 
phone can provide. Please forget for one little moment the firmware within 
the modem...   ;-))

But you're right. Everyone who has bootloader in NAND can forget the 
separate p1. What I wanted to tell is:

a) I agree with Radek that one partition with distro-common/shared data 
like media is needed and useful. I disagree with Nikolaus who suggests to 
leave it away.

b) I suggest to place it *before* all distro-partitions. So you can do 
severe reformatting/reorganizing of your partitions without loosing this 
data.

Best regards
