Amount of memory ROM RAM (Compact IV)!

[jannen]

I just bought a T-Mobile Compact IV - going to settings - memory it shows memory to be:
Storage Total 84.81MB and Program Total 113.07MB ... shouldnt these be 192MB and 256MB?!?
Is there something wrong with my memory?

Thanks

The firmware just incorectly reports the totals you have AFTER T-Mobile software (and other firmware customizations) take their space.

Don't worry about it.

Indeed what NLS said, there were many early reports stating that the MDA Compact IV had a lower amount of RAM due to it's smaller size but this is infact not true, i'd just ignore any readings you get, and especially ignore any articles you get on it, it has been proven to have both the 192MB and the 256MB and is not limited :)
As for the T-Mobile ROM showing it, mine reported both at the correct numbers, which ROM are you at, the 1.93 or the earlier one? I was at the earlier one (very very very slow) but now i hear T-Mobile are back in stock with the new rom update!

I know I guess I shouldnt worry but
It states it Settings I have for example Storage Total 84.81MB, In use 36.30MB and Free 48.52MB
Doesnt this include all the T-mobile stuff installed?.... Sorry Im not expert but this is far from the 192 MB advertised?

the 36.3 are EVEN MORE "eaten" MB, that are not "locked out" (they are in "visible" area), "eaten" after initial setup, while the rest are locked out because they contain the setup CABs etc.
