memory issues? comparison to HTC Wildfire S

---

Hey,
I'm currently trying to find a nice low-end phone for my gf (myself I'm a Galaxy S and Galaxy S2 owner). The 2 phones left in the race are the Galaxy Ace and HTC Wildfire S.
Price is pretty much the same, looks don't matter too much so it's all about hardware. My main concern with Ace is that it's memory (RAM) is quite small. Even with the Galaxy S' 512MB I'm often thinking it could use more memory, so I assume it'd be even worse for the Ace?
I'd really appreciate if Ace owners could provide some feedback on how they see the memory situation. Are you often running out of memory, is the phone lagging a lot, ..? Does the 800Mhz cpu (vs 600Mhz in W) give a better overall experience despite the smaller 287MB (vs 512mb in W) memory?
Maybe someone even has experience with both Ace and Wildfire S?

Any reports appreciated!

I always have between 150-115mb free memory with Lookout, ZDbox, a firewall and some other crap running at the background.
Even if I use skype and some other things at the same times, I have never had any problems. But you have to use a good task killer anyway.

And if you want my opinion, Wildfire has a smaller screen than Ace and the Ace should support Flashplayer soon.

i too stuck btw SGA and htc wildfire S b4....i dont think internal memory is a big issue,of course of the beginning,i struggle with it,but once i gain knowledge from this forum,i always have 90-110 free internal memory,n all it takes is just sd card....with newest firmware,the phone vy vy smooth...i even compare my phone with my friend 1ghz x10,he too suprised by ace...RAM wise,i dont exprience any short coming,and i dont think girl user are more extreme,so i think its ok....screen wise,i would bet on SGA 16m colour than WS 256k(if u compare these two,it do make alot of different)...hehe,y dont u ask ur gf which design she wud prefer

it is problem only if you install needlessly too many apps. otherwise it is not a big issue. ace installs most apps on memory card by default and actually uses very little main memory. also you can root and remove some default apps that your gf don't use so you gain additional free memory or use VillainROM that is already nice and clean (~130MB free memory).
