While yes it is spec'd with a lower amount of RAM it is not clear at this time whether it is physically less than the sprint or att editions or if it is how verizon is choosing to report it. Basically the OS could be eating those missing 96MB which leaves 192MB for the user which is the number Verizon is touting. If this was the case though, I must say I fail to understand the logic of it.

That being said I could be way off, but that was my impression so far.

I do remember reading on boygeniusreport.com that the processors are essentially the same, one being a revision that avoids Broadcom patent infringement. There has not been any underclocking as was initially speculated.

I agree on the keyboard comment. I guess I'll just have to get used to it, since I'm tied to Verizon cause my woman can't afford the minutes if I go to another carrier. I do like the body shape a little bit more on this one than the fuze though.

As far as I can tell, the hardware is not crippled as originally suspected. Though the additional $50 price tag has me a little miffed.

Surely you guys meant "Translation Lookaside Buffer", instead of "Transaction Lookaside Buffer" you so explicitly clarified for your readers.

That is basically, awesome. Like really? Dude thats... the best. Seriously, unbelievable skill and talent man, far out.

Sweet dude.

Nice setup.
