Is there a XT720 with 512MB RAM, or an update that enables 512MB RAM?

Hi.

First of all, I'd like to thank all the people responsible for creating the XT720 sub-forum.

My question comes from this old Engadget news:

http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/10/motorola-boosts-milestone-xt720-spec-to-720mhz-cpu-and-512mb-ram
Lots of tech-news sites mentioned this back in June.

Where it says the firmware upgrade not only boosted the CPU's clock to 720MHz but it also "unlocked" an additional 256MB RAM, with the total memory now being 512MB.


Since I haven't seen a single report of a XT720 with 512MB RAM, I'm wondering if this was just a mistake in motorola's website. The website where Engadget links to, shows the tech specs of the XT720 with only 256MB RAM.

No, there's nothing like that. What happened is Motorola revised their spec a few time before the actual device is shipped. So, there're confusion between some sites.

I thought the same thing at first. Our devices have 512 ROM and 256 RAM.

No software upgrade will ever change this.
