Can you?

 
I can not conceive anyone buying a phone with only 64KB internal
storage.

 
64GB

 
Oops :-D

 
64KB was enough for the Commodore 64 ... the best selling home computer
in history.  :-)

Many decades ago, when Radio Shack sold the TI speech synthesizer, we put
it in a commodore 64 (after cutting the top of the yellow plastic module).

The "We" were me and a bunch of European (Dutch) physicists, in fact.

I still have it. When it was done, it said out loud (and I quote)...
   "Hello... my name is Otto... how are you?"

That's all it ever did.
But we succeeded.

Note: We also used the Kodak Proximity Sensor discs from Radio Shack to
make car backup sensors that beeped with a 555 timer. The good 'ole days.
