Well...... I agree. It might be not worthgetting more ram if the price is over 100 not including ram price. Then the Phone gets too ridiculous expensive. But let me share this...... about the ram leak. I did the rom update and i noticed it cured the leak. I use Xbutton software, that helps alot.. you just got to keep programs from staying in the memory by killing it with xbotton. But i still got curious and this is what i found out.

Out the Box my PPC6700 has this amount of storage and ram onboard.Im going to compare it to what my Mogul came out the box. Both devices have been Hard reseted and the extended rom skipped.

PPC6700
Storage Programs
Total: 43.50MB Total: 49.20
In Use: 2.58MB In Use: 14.34
Free: 40.92MB Free: 34.86


Mogul
Storage Programs
Total: 162.67 Total: 47.46
In Use: 5.39 In Use: 21.27
Free: 157.28 Free: 26.19





Now...... if you look at these numbers youll notice the mogul has about 2MB less out the box. That I cant explain. Because both the mogul and 6700 do come with 64mb. I do know that theres background code that makes the phone run enbeded inside the RAM. That explains why we never see 64MB.
I can only see the WM6 OS being the Culprit in why we have less ram. So most likely we will never get past 26 megs of free use. Too bad. 26 IMO is too little. But at least the memory leak has somewhat been cures with the latest rom update. Well.. at least for me.
