Flash memory is used for device software and applications. It used in much the same way as RAM memory in your computer.

Expanded memory is contained on a separate microSD card. It is not directly addressable and usually used to file storage. It functions much like the Hard Disk Drive in your computer.

Finally, On-board Memory. This has only used on Bold, it appears there is 1 Gb of memory installed, of which 128 Mb is used for Flash Memory and the remainder used as Expanded memory, but on a fixed internal chip.

So even tho the on-board is 1Gb only 128MB is avail to run apps?

Actually, it's right in line with current Smartphone practice. You don't think the iPhone actually has 32 Gb of addressable memory, do you?

I have not seen spec of the 3GS, but the iPhone has 128 Mb addressable.
