Remember 32mb minimum is used by the radio image. I havnt seen a general release qualcomm MSN7200A image thats less than about 40mb so thats probably more realistic. There's also a bunch used for surfaces and other buffers. So if linux is seeing 109mb there must be AT LEAST 109 + 32 = 141mb + other buffers, and probably 109mb + 40mb = 149mb + other buffers.

The MSM7200A die's come with 64mb or 32mb ram built in. The radio image can only reside in the internal RAM and not the external one. That means the phone must have at least 128mb + 64mb = 192mb of total ram if the radio image is 40mb.
