I still don't like the number since I'm coming from a WX as well, but did not notice any slowdowns.
That is not a good news at all. There are quite a lot applications requires over 20 M free RAM to run, such as games and some of the GPS navigation software (specially those with text to speech ones). I guess SKTools is a must for this phone. I can reclaim most of the RAM by running it. It is quite different from just close the program. Normally, even the program is no longer shown up in the program list, a lot of share libraries and hidden programs are still running. That tool can terminate most of them and kill individual process if necessary.

On WX with those tools (Resco instead of file explorer) along with spb pocket plus with spb phone tools, spb weather, spb times, etc, I still have over 30 MB RAM available.
