HI 2 everybody.
I bought an E72 some days ago, and I really suprised about the product quality. Of course, in this case "quality" means some things very good, and some things VERY bad. But the problem is, in this case, bad things.
WHY IN THE HELL E72 HAS SO LOW FREE RAM?
It's incredible, I remember N95-1. The main difference is N95-1 had 64MB, E72 doubles that! I cannot believe that after booting up, the phone left only 28MB out of 128! I cannot load 2 big programs simultaneously, because the OS crash at any moment because of low free memory. I never had this problem with my "oldie but goodie" E71. And I'm surprised that, after 2 firmware revisions, Nokia doesn't solve the problem! Why??? It's so difficult to unload many unused processes? Is so difficult to activate some type of virtual memory? AFAIK, N95-1had virtual memory. And, by the way: why E71 doesn't come with 192 or 256MB RAM???
Now, knowing the fact that Nokia doesn't want to solve this issue, well... Anyone has trying or tried to solve that? Any Symbian expert? Perhaps killing unused or annoying processes?
Thanks a lot.
Nokia: IT'S A SHAME!

In my country (The Netherlands) the E-72 is only sold with 256MB. At least by the official resellers. After installing several apps on tel.memory still 125MB left. So no complaints about that by me.

@audicar: the 256 MB memory you are referring to is the phone storage memory , not the RAM one (where applications run) that's a 128 MB.
@lzw_ve : I have 42.85 free ram having almost nothing installed!!

Look for JB taskman or KillMe and Memcheck (for RAM checkin). Use KillMe or JB Taskman to kill the memory leaks. Out of 128mb, if you only have the necessary apps running, you should have around 40-50mb free RAM.

I've bought E72 a month ago. So what I am supposed to kill using JBTaskman to free up some memory ?

Could you please Nokia explain to us how the 128 mb ram went down to 40 mb only ?
We need at least 70+ mb at startup and i know its feasible [yes Nokia E71 and many othres 128 mb ram phones ] , shame on you Nokia for this !!!
