Finally meet my new baby O2 Atom Life

[Lizzo]

Lizzo, Ming has 48 MB of RAM. Careful not to confuse storage with RAM.

i don't confuse the two..but can u or anyone tell me if the built in RAM can be increased?

Very nice!

I am too migrating to WM. At first I was looking at HTC Tytn II, but I was a little worried about the screen, which is too big and has a very low resolution. Lack of decent video drivers also worried me.

Until SE came and announced this marvel called Xperia X1, with its almost stupid 800x480 screen. That's 5x more pixels than Ming or most phones on the market.

I know it costs $1000 in pre-order and might cost even more when it launches, but hey, you get what you pay for.

Hi Smaniac, I am discussing phones with special features. I mean phone which look like phones. HTC TyneII wieghts 189 grams, its little bit fatter than Atom Life, Even O2 Flame is too bad for carryable shape, which you wont put in your pocket. You will always need a blazer for that or a big waste pouch.

Remember HTC Tytn II have 128mb phone memory for end User and Life have 1 GB.

I am installing all my softwares on phone memory so I can remove memory card anytime and use all softwares installed in phone with different Memory cards. Just imagine few movies in MiniSDHC cards in your wallet and you can change them easily from top slot LIKE WE DO CHANGE MOVIE CD/DVDS.

ALL O2 ATOM MODELS ALLOW MEMORY CARDS TO BE INSERTED IN PHONE FROM TOP WITHOUT OPENING IT. JUST SLIDE IN. What I mean is this 1gb helps a lot to store applications and you never loose them when you remove memcards.

Cool isnt it?

AWWWWW

I think No! May be some mobile hardware engineer replaces the compatible high capacity flash memory ic inside the mainboard. Of course there could be some genius MANIACS (lol smaniac, not you) who may do that. Even then, very bleak chances of Ming's mainboard may recognize the flash-memory ic with more capacity. I am just guessing this all, maybe someone gets the idea.

Dude better change your phone than this kindaa solution.

The most of the specification sheets spread on web, also say Ming have 8mb Internal Memory.

well as far as i know 8MB is the storage memory and is not RAM. these two are completly diffrent things. i suppose ming has 32MB or 48 MB RAM. i'm not sure though

In ekonsole tipe "cat /proc/cpuinfo".
48mb ram.

But...you can use a BIG swapfile

Thanks...I typed in the info in ekonsole and i saw right down to my processor speed at that particular moment......but didn't see a line indicating how much ram.. i tried enabling and disabling my swap too...

Any pc can work in RAM at lightning fast speed, the speed of RAM is hundred times faster than read/write speed on disk or memory card. Using swapfile on memory card is not a good idea, everytime system will read/write chunks of data in memory card, slowing it down and sometimes hanging, if memory card developes any bad sector area. Using physical RAM for processing is always a right method for any pc/ppc.

EDIT: Are we going off-topic? :O

SManiac , Go for this only, this phone have everything from FM Radio to Office mobile. Main camera is great.

THIS PHONE ONLY LACKS GPS, but its ready for external GPS. There is a ready option to setup external bluetoogh GPS with com port setings.

You can easily pair any Bluetooth GPS unit with this. Just noticed a branded GPS device on ebay at $70 with SurfstarIII GPS Antenna and TomTom software, the world's best.

Its always advisable to keep GPS unit seperate as everyone in your family can use the same device in car with different phones with everyone.

Serach in ebay "bluetooth gps"
