- I was a little surprised to see that.... but i dont even remember what my 9650 had originally before I started removing all the junk.
If its 188 out of the box we should be able to get it over 200 no problem by removing the crap lol08-09-11 05:43 PMLike 0 - 200MB is still a very small capacity...if the Torch 9860 is to compete with the likes of iOS and Android, 200MB won't cut it for apps and the such.
Heck, I have games on my iPhone of over 300MB!! (Infinity Blade namely), I'm worried right now. The OS can't use that much memory...08-09-11 05:46 PMLike 0 - But does that mean 1GB - 256MB = advertised 768MB or 768-256=512 that would mean, in the second case 512-188=324MB that the OS and the preloaded apps is using.mssca and mechanic_joe like this.08-09-11 05:48 PMLike 2

I love blackberry exactly like it is.... but i will appreciate the faster OS lol08-09-11 05:50 PMLike 9 - I guess I was really expecting more. Maybe limited due to the physical design/form factor of the device. I am thinking of using my upgrade for this phone as I will not be an early adopter of the QNX devices. It still looks like a VERY solid product from Canadia. I have a pharmaceutical app on my Storm2 which seems to use a lot of resources and hope that the useful apps will not bog down my device. It is really frustrating to get the clock when trying to look up meds.08-09-11 05:51 PMLike 0
- you are correct iOS and android have far more advanced games and such. BUT you wont see that development on the OS 7 devices. Thjey are stop gaps until QNX which is when RIM finally steps into the world were you will see major development leaps for them. If you were ok in a previous OS 6 device (torch, 9180) you will be fine in an OS 7 device i would think
Me neither, but I want to ditch that "smartphone" for one device only, and from time to time, a time-killing little game is not bad. However, my point is that 200MB seems way too little space for apps and the OS to run...08-09-11 05:53 PMLike 0 - you are correct iOS and android have far more advanced games and such.

Posted from my CrackBerry at wapforums.crackberry.com08-09-11 05:54 PMLike 0 - This is my number one (with a bullet) complaint about this phone. The 'RAM' shouldn't be advertised as 768, since the app space is taken from that. My year old SGS has 512mb of RAM (which some of the OS resides in) and 1.8gigs of app space (oh, and apps to sd, but I don't even need to go there).
My good ole Storm ran very fast with no apps, but the more apps you added, the less 'RAM' the device had, until it slowed to a standstill.
Its 2011, 188mb of app space is insulting, imo.08-09-11 05:57 PMLike 3 - I don't think there's any reason to fret. Bold 99XX users and any users of a OS 7 device can shrink the OS to delete Help files, unused apps, stock themes, ringtones etc. I'm sure Kevin and everyone is already using BB Hybrid Tools or BBSAK to increase the available memory. No need to worry, CB! I'm sure the OS 7 devices have plenty of mem to satisfy your need08-09-11 06:11 PMLike 3
- Is there any way possible that the 8GB of onboard memory will be able to hold app storage as well (I mean apps could be considered 'media')? And that 188MB is only for OS-related stuff.08-09-11 06:11 PMLike 0

- I was a bit shocked about the low free memory but I think that it will come pre loaded with apps that most of us will delete.
Will find out for sure when I get mine next week.
As long as its faster than my 9520 I will be happy.08-09-11 06:34 PMLike 0 -
