Using a plain red theme without custom icons but with active standby on after 40 seconds of boot up i got 21.2MB free. Then i closed the NSysInfo application and launched it again, this time a got 23.3MB! (This is without calculating according to the 1024 rule) http://img296.imageshack.us/img296/374/screenshot0004dn9.jpg However when i switched off the active display rebooted and again waited for 45 seconds i was only getting 21MB or so!

While i wrote this i was sure someone would point out that 1KB = 1024B and so on.. But i was too damn lazy to do the calculations! Thanks Hiteish for doing them! However the purpose of this was to see if the free RAM situation has improved over the firmwares, it seems it has! <strong>Steve</strong>, interesting point about the processes terminating themselves after a while. These shots were taken immediately, i'll try again.. :-) surething! While i wrote this i was sure someone would point out that 1KB = 1024B and so on.. But i was too damn lazy to do the calculations!

Good point and well spotted! How come I always forget that 1MB is not equal to 1000000 bytes? 8-) Ah. Good point and well spotted!

Still, wouldn't it be great to have 23MB free for real?

I have nothing obvious that's auto-starting. This is on a UK SIM-free device. Wierd! Hmm… with a plain theme and matching your last scenario, I only have 19.0MB free after booting.
