Okay I'm really confused... Touch Pro RAM?

I haven't been following the PPC world in awhile... but it seems to me that the Touch Pro only has 192MB of RAM like the Diamond? What happened to 288MB?

I decided to ditch my Curve that I switched to and ordered a Touch Pro from retention today for 225 bucks. I'm just curious what I'll have to work with...

the sprint touch pro has 288 mb ram with about 85 used for program so you end up with 203.xx left over for actual use. the verizon touch pro is the one that has 192 mb ram.

well, there's rom and ram.. the diamond and pro (minus vzw) have the same ram, but the pro has MUCH more rom.

Yeah that's what I thought... I just kept seeing screenshots showing 192MB of RAM in the ROMs section (good lord I've never seen so many ROMs for a phone - its gonna be next to impossible to figure out which one I want lol) and got confused.

I thought the Diamond had 192MB of RAM? I know about the 512MB of ROM on the Pro... But I could have sworn the Diamond had only 192MB of RAM?

no fortunately for us they gave the same ram to both devices. they just cut the rom in half for the diamond

Just try them all one by one and see which works.... or you could start with Mighty Rom 4.9.1 which worked the best of the bunch for myself !!

The gsm version of the diamond has 192 mb of ram, thats probably what you are thinking about.

Well that's cool that they gave both the Diamond and the Touch Pro the same RAM... I wish I would have known that though because I might have gotten the Diamond and skipped the keyboard. Oh well. *shrugs*

It should be here Monday. Woot!

i still cant understand why verizon does this crap. i will guarantee it is a verizon program/reg thing and not an actual chip difference in the TP. i have sent HTC an email asking about it so maybe they know why.
