Re: Did Verizon actually remove RAM used in the TP or did they just disable it?

( im not %100 sure that this is the first time)

i just pray them dont make the same mistake on the tp2! im sure they see it didnt sell as well as other carriers versions or even worse other verizon wireless phones!!
well for one thing the vzw version of touch pro came out weeks after sprints release not months

As far as why it was gimped, we had an informant here during the touch pro debacle last year that seemed to indicate verizon ordered the devices with less ram. As for reason your guess is as good as mine

As for the gimping, I think every company makes changes to devices regardless of intention (ATT keyboard on touch pro, sprint changing the battery backing for example), as far as why would vzw do it, I have no idea. We don't know why it was that way, and all we have is speculation...

As for touch pro 2, its not gimped, we have enough evidence its not gimped
