I was at 4.5.0.131 and my 8330 would have about 30 MB free after a restart. I downloaded Memory Up Personal and that program said I have 52 MB of total memory with about 40 MB free. How can the program say one thing and the 8330 say another? Which one should I believe?

Next, I upgraded to 4.5.0.175 a little while ago and checked on my 8330 to see how much free memory I have and it said about 40 MB. After seeing that, I was thinking cool...this OS is smaller. I then check Memory Up Personal Edition and it says my total memory is at 62 MB with about 50 MB free. How can my main memory be increased when I did not physically add memory? Is RIM implementing some sort of data compression in order to increase the amount memory to allow larger OS'es?

Any info. would be appreciated!
