256 or 384?

[t-readyroc]

Think we need a definitive answer on this. Can't believe there's conflicting info on announce day. Also can't understand the decision to go with 256MB at this point in the game....

Is it all a misunderstanding? Typo?

384 is bad enough....if it's 256 then my god they really did find this one in some corner of the workshop and reproduce it on mass after it got dusty.

There are three sources of information that I can find, and there are quite a few differences between the listed specs. I'm not sure what to take from it.

See what I mean? Now that's just insane. I mean, seriously. Also, ever since the announcement this am, I've been looking for the Aria page to appear on PDADB, & it hasn't happened yet...

I think taking this info and putting it with the pic supplied in another thread gives us a better idea of the phone. I'm going to venture a guess that the info from the spec pdf is the correct info. I didn't see a flash on the phone and at this point any HTC phone coming with 256 seems unlikely.

The HD Mini also is 3.8 ounces so I'd imagine this would be pretty close to the same.

Found the Aria on HTC's site. No mention of the RAM/ROM though.

Edit: 115g is 4.1 ounces. So many differences with the actual weight as well...

You need 2.2 for Flash support. It comes with 2.1 at launch but probably will be updated eventually.

I'm pretty sure when he said "no flash" he meant no camera flash.
