I supposedMDA III were all equippend with 128MB RAM and 96MB ROM.
I got an MDA III from T-Mobile, today, with 128MB RAM: I am looking at settings/ device information / hardware

But I cannot see clearly the real size of the ROM.

Thanks for any hints

I explain in details, and I hope someone can clear my doubts...

I have a MDA Compact & a MDA III

1. on MDA III
I see two storage areas:
- storage
- extended ROM

After a hard reset (no programs installed, except I have sync-d all my inbox) the memory applet is saying:
- storage: used 0.01MB free 43.25MB
- extended ROM: used 15.89MB free 0.08MB

The main screen says
Total Memory 125.77 (I guess this is the 128MB RAM)

Anyway (43.25 + 0.08)MB is surely more than 32MB but still MUCH LESS than 96MB.

2. MDA Compact
How do you explain that on my MDA COMPACT, under device information, I see
RAM SIZE: 64MB (correct)
FLASH SIZE: 64MB (correct)
- storage: used 0.45MB free 7.15MB
- extended ROM: used 10.19MB free 8.77MB

on my MDA III I see
RAM SIZE: 128MB (correct)
FLASH SIZE: 32MB (!??!)


Thanks and waiting

To be more detailed, after scrolling I see the following info (Device Information > Hardware):

RAM size: 128MB
Flash Size: 32MB
Flich Chip type: 28F128K3
Storage Size: 43.26MB

Can someone (MDA III owner) confirm that he sees the same data?

Thanks
