Hi All,

What's the difference between RAM and Flash memory?
I know my 8100 comes with 64 MB Flash memory. I believe the device also has additional RAM memory that is used by the Blackberry OS. Only when the RAM is running out, will the Flash memory be used (like paging). Of course, Flash memory is also used to store offline data.

How can I determine the RAM on my 8100 device? Blackberry doesn't seem to publicize this info much.

Thanks!
