You cant be serious? Have you ever heard of Google? Have you ever tried installing a game on your PC on your RAM MEMORY? Do you even have a computer? Maybe you should stick with iphone?
I dont mean to be rude, but im shocked how conviced you are in something so terebly wrong.
Offence none taken. I do understand what you are saying. What I am saying is the difference between ROM and RAM (mind you, there are different memory types and their characteristics).
I am referring ROM as in Firmware ROM, one whose data can be upgraded with special software (downloaded either from HTC or Google) in order to upgrade/fix any bugs or enhancements to the Desire handset (Android v2.2, etc).
I am referring RAM as in either internal RAM or external RAM (microSD card). Now, both can retain their data, even if switched off. This is because they are Flash RAMs, which is completely different to those type of RAM used inside your PC (Flash RAM vs. Volatile RAM).
The point is, if HTC Desire has 512Mb ROM and 574Mb RAM. From the layman's point of view, this appears as if the firmware's in 512Mb ROM, and there's apps and spaces in the 574Mb RAM. And the layman would "see" that there is microSD slot, that can take up to 32Gb. Now, why, I ask, can't this be 'treated' as if I got 512Mb ROM, 32.575Gb RAM?
I am not sure if you get my drift here? I just want to be able to download, either few big apps or as many apps, as well as music, photos, videos, in that 32Gb microSD card (which would be a doddle).
Limiting to 574Mb for apps, does make you wonder of its limitations, when compared with others like the iPhone. Why can't we save apps in that 32Gb card?
Sorry for this long text, but thought perhaps a little explanation might help you see what I am trying to say?
Oh, I don't like iPhone, cos there is no sense of 'individuality' with that phone. Everytime I see someone using a iPhone, there's this boring black background with tiles (apps icons). Android is a breath of fresh air. You can customise to your heart's contents. Big clock, widgets, live wallpaper, and the lot - it's simply magical.
Cheers.
