Re: installing flash memory

He's referring to flash memory, not RAM. The Diamond has 192MB of RAM, 512MB of ROM and 4GB of onboard flash memory, but no microSD slot. The Touch Pro has 288MB of RAM, 512MB of ROM, and a microSD slot, but no onboard flash memory. He's wondering if it would be possible to add onboard flash memory to the Touch Pro since he suspects (maybe correctly) that they share the same or similar mainboards.

My suspicion, though, is that this is impossible for a variety of reasons. The one I'll highlight, though, is that they likely connected the Touch Pro's microSD slot to whatever contact points are used for flash memory in Diamond, making it an either/or scenario. I doubt they'd leave perfectly good an open potential connections unused on both models. Since one supports one and the other supports the other (and since the Verizon Diamond trades the 4GB onboard for the microSD), this is probably due to there being only one possible connection for "removable" memory.
