The internal 16Mb of RAM is the only RAM on the phone suitable for running active programs. The other storage in the phone (additional memory, and memory-stick) are not truly 'memory' in the desktop computer sense of the word, they are more like hard-disk space, and a lot slower than the 16Mb.
If the P900 had a sophisticated hardware Memory Management Unit, it might be possible to page the active memory to the memory-stick so it acts like virtual memory.
The P900 does not have an MMU capable of this. Analogy - you connect one of those 512Mb USB memory-sticks to your desktop PC, it doesn't give your PC an extra 512Mb of memory, merely an extra 512Mb of storage space.

@govigov...The internal memory and external memories aren't useable ram...They're just storage space.

He he, if we could use storage space as RAM we'd all have 160GB of RAM on our PCs
