Re: Verizon HTC TOUCH PRO Information

Some shared memory is required for communication between the two OS's as well.

The 78.71MB of OS program memory reported in Device Info represents memory that you're not going to have access to. Windows Mobile, TouchFlo3D, and everything else is running on the remaining 113.29MB. In practical terms, the Verizon Touch Pro has the same amount of memory as the Vogue (CDMA Touch). When the Vogue was launched, HTC just wasn't including the shared memory in their total figures. Otherwise, they would advertise it as having 160MB (128+32) of RAM.
Attached is a screenshot from my Vogue. You can see that the total reported hardware size is 128 (not 160 MB) leading me to be that an unlocked HTC Pro device will yield 64 MB more than the Vogue.
