Pretty accurate.
Small update: it DOES have 128mb of RAM
But it looks like this under Settings --> Memory --> Program Memory (RAM)
Free: 80.1mb
In use: 38mb
Free: 42mb
That last number is the important one. It's kinda low. Not Mogul or 700w low, but it's lower than the 800w and GSM Treo Pro (both 128mb) where you have
70mb free.
Why the difference? Dunno.
Will it matter? Depends on your usage.
Either way, it's f'in stupid. LOL They should have had at least 70mb FREE RAM minimum today and 100+mb to be competitive.
Just think: add in plugins, memory resident apps, scripts and memory tweaks and you can take 10-12mb off of 42mb.
So now you have maybe 32mb and you haven't even launched a single program yet. That's not catastrophic, but it's getting tight.
