Hey guys, just letting you guys know that the "confirmed" RAM of 278 MB seems to be incorrect.
The correct "spec" amount should be 320 MB according to my calculations.
The phone does have 278 MB of RAM available to the user in the task manager menu but it's real amount is higher.
For example the Galaxy Tab has 448 MB of RAM available to the user in the task manager but we all know that the specs for the Galaxy Tab indicate that it has 512 MB of RAM.
The Milestone's spec indicate 256 MB of RAM, yet only 226 MB is available to the user.
What this means is that around 12% to 13% of the RAM is reserved by the system for various reasons which I'm not qualified enough to explain. Plus it wouldn't make sense for Samsung to add a 22 MB RAM chip which I don't think exists. 256 MB + 64 MB = 320 MB seems more likely since 64 MB chips do exist.
You can check the RAM available to the user by using the task manager or quick system info.
Hope this clarifies the RAM issue
