9900 has 8GB of internal memory or 8GB sd card included?
- I notice some of the BB devices like the Torch advertise 4GB of internal memory, but it ended up being 4GB micro SD card included. I hope that isnt the case with the BB Bold 9900.07-05-11 10:29 PMLike 0

- $20 for 32GB Micro SD.. I'm sorry man but you get what you pay for and what you're getting for that is complete ****... You have to pay around $20 for an 8GB class 6 KNOWN BRAND micro sd.. You have to pay like $60 for a class 4 KNOWN brand micro sd (and by known brand, I mean one that isn't going to fall apart or break within a few weeks ie. the brand name cannot be "memory card" New 32gb micro sd card with Adapter | eBay)
Anyways, You have to spend at least $50 or $60 to get a good one, NOT $20 lol07-07-11 10:13 AMLike 0 - I think it's up to the carriers themselves if they want to include a microSD card w/the Bold 9900/9930...say, At&t might put in a 4GB or Sprint might put in a 8GB...I'm sure that SOME GB microsd card between 4-8gb will be preinstalled by the different carriers on the Bold 9900/993007-07-11 12:51 PMLike 0

- They aren't installed on the RAM. They are installed on the flash storage like the iPhone but RIM has partitioned it so that only a portion of it can be used for app storage. Think of it this way, the iPhone has 512mb of RAM but has far more for storage, the 8/16/32GB flash.

I'd prefer at least a total of 16GB in the device (if like I've posted on other threads, I might get a iphone 5 IF? it does indeed come to Sprint also in September, they for sure will have at least 16GB inside)07-08-11 03:02 PMLike 0

BES will give you an option to disable the sd card slot, but I've also heard that the cameraless 9900s will also ship without an sd card slot. Security is bigger in the enterprise then it's ever been, and an sd card slot is considered one of the biggest holes possible.07-10-11 12:49 PMLike 0
- I believe that they all do this (like the Playbook) but that the partioned space has always been equal to them RAM so people confused the two. RAM is meant to be super quick temporary storage (like for a tab in a browser) and it's contents are erased when it's turned off. If it was stored on the RAM, your apps would disappear once it's off.07-10-11 03:15 PMLike 0
- Apps are not stored on the onboard device memory, they are two distinct storage spaces. Blackberry devices carry both ram and flash storage for apps, in addition to emmc which is the onboard memory for pictures and videos and blablabla.07-10-11 10:34 PMLike 0
- That is so incorrect it makes my head hurt... Apps are definitely stored on internal memory for security purposes. It's always been that way, and now that RIM is putting more flash on the phones it will never change.07-11-11 11:52 AMLike 0

If you ever look at the engineering you will also notice that the RAM is not 512MB, but more like 125MB total or so, and then you have the flash storage for apps. I dont know the reason of this discrepancy between RIM's advertisement and what the engineering screen displays. The sum of both ram and app flash storage makes around 522MB. Im talking about the torch here.
QNX runs different than the current java OS. QNX actually does use the onboard flash storage (mass storage device) for apps and has dedicated RAM, and you can explore the folder structure of where the apps are installed, even when its not shown when connected to a computer, for which the playbook does not act as a mass storage device, but more like a network drive.Last edited by gbsn; 07-11-11 at 01:18 PM.

- Well its absolutely fine for the apps that are available out there right now. I still have tons of app memory on my Torch.
And your friend does need better training or better explanation skills because I think it rather unlikely that RIM has LOWERED the amount of app memory on their new generation phone. All current (9780/9800) BB's have 512 of app memory (which includes the OS). the 200MB may be what's LEFT after whatever apps are loaded on. But there is no way it's 200MB total. 1.6GB for the OS? Have any of the OS7 leaks been over 250MB even?Last edited by barrist; 07-14-11 at 09:35 AM.
