Yes I use Opera. The ram is the same on all handsets. And yea you cam use Opera in landscape. They show the amount of ram plus the amount available to the user.

Sorry for being slow, but are you saying that the 335mb of ram I'm seeing on my phone is the amount of "allowed" memory to be used by apps? If that's the case, and my phone does come equipped with 512mb, where's the remaining 177mb?

I'm not familiar with the actual RAM usage of Android, but on most computer systems, the OS will allocate RAM for the system (this is usually hidden from the user, so this may be the missing 177MB), then background tasks, running apps, then free RAM.

The 300+ MB RAM you see may be FREE RAM, and the other 300+ may be RAM in use... since this fluctuates faster on mobile devices than on full systems so you may see discrepancies on total amounts unless you have a memory app than can show you actual (live) usage statistics of your memory.

It's the same with a pc. Look at your pc ram it will show 2.75 gigs byte out of 3 gigs byte of ram. In a phone I think the 177mb missing is the system usage. It's not just SE phones. Samsung Galaxy S 2 says out of the gig of ram it has 870 or so is available.

If the graphic chip uses shared memory (most likely), then part of the RAM will be used for the graphic chip and hence no being available for apps.

I wonder how much MB does Xperia 2011 GPU uses?

64MB/128MB or 160MB? or the whole 177MB?

Digressing from the RAM discussions and moving towards aesthetics, can anybody confirm whether the rear of the *BLACK* Mini Pro is gloss or matt? If it's gloss, I'm getting a white one...
