I thought the OS/Application/working memory of the device was 1GB. How can you be down so low?

Low memory has always been a stupid problem on Blackberry's. Totally limits the number of apps you can install. I thought this problem was solved with the 1GB on the storm. If this is not the case then this is a BIG problem.

On my Pearl I have 64MB. After OS and Apps the memory is always at 22MB after a reboot. As the Pearl has a memory leak, it slowly loses memory so that after about 4-5 days it is down to 10MB free memory and I have to do a battery pull or the phone just displays the hourglass most of the time.

I really hoped that RIM was smart enough to not repeat the same mistake.
