As we all know there is always a certian bit of RAM allocated directly to the radio. It's really intriguing to find out why VZW has set aside that much.
Could it have anything to do with the use of the 700 mghz spectrum they own? Some sort of upgrade for this phone to use that? Do the other PPC phones they are releasing have the same ISM allocation?

Just thinking out loud
