It's 512/512 that is pooled and shared between the OS/Graphics/Apps.

So in reality it IS 1gb of ram.
there's going to be a micro SD card slot too I presume.

What would be the use of the storage on this device?

512MB RAM (memory)
512MB ROM (OS installation)
8GB moviNand (apps)
16GB SD card (media)

So it seems since moviNand takes care of the apps then there would be a lot of the Flash space free'd up. Any chance this would allow the phone to actually allocate more than 512MB for memory (sdram)?

it looked like a solid phone until i looked more into android. calm down man.

sorry, I was just havin a little fun. Your Curve is a fantastic device. At this point in time, I just can't imagine going to a device who's company's stock is valued at $0 and is quickly looking down the path of insolvency.

That is my assumption. With the 8gb on board for apps/storage, that frees up the other flash memory to be used for graphics and OS (since it's a pooled resource). I think I remember hearing that it would be shipping with an 8gb microSD, but wouldn't doubt that would change to 16gb.

If they went from 512mb to 8gb on board in the past then wouldn't it be more likely it will come with no sd card to compromise the cost? Most people wouldn't need more than 8 gigs anyways - at least in the first year or so of ownership.

Flash is much slower than RAM. Why would you want to allocate flash memory to OS and graphics? Seems odd to me. Am I missing something?

What about This Post?

It seems to imply that there is 1g of ram. and a little of 6gigs of the NAND available for the user. I'm guessing the other part has stuff on it?
