Hello, I've noticed that when  i first got my nokia n8. The RAM i had right after booting with no programs open was 165 mb. Now, in those same conditions, it is 152 mb. I haven't saved anything to drive C nor have i installed any program sin that drive either. I'm at a lost to wear that 13 mb disappeared to.  Please help. 

Thank you...

Its just that its not completely loaded yet.

Once the graphic effects kick in, including the sleep screen, the active widgets etc, they begin to eat up some RAM. RAM doesnt decrease with saving anything to drive C, or installing anything there, its a completely separate memory. The music player as well, that alone could eat up around 10mb. If you have a music widget, when that loads completely it may eat up that much.

The RAM is the processing memory, the more 'stuff' running the more RAM used, my phone becomes inoperable with about 20 apps open (which isn't sensible anyway, just tried to see !) I really wouldn't get obsessed with available RAM, just use and enjoy the phone, as long as it's working smoothly, there isn't a problem, re-starting it will always return you to the maximum available, and don't leave things running you don't need/want to use.

Good Luck

after i installed so many apps (more than 200) including task manager call blockers etc that runs in the background and affect the ram...my phone starts at 130 mb and just looking the menus and open small apps it falls down to 95-110 so i think ur n8 is very good

Empty your sent emails folder.  More frequently if you send lots of photos and videos.

TBH I think that under certain circumstances the N8 can suffer from memory leaks and some apps leave ghost processes,  that cause issues down the line

there's an app called ramblow in the ovi store for £8 that's expensive for an OVI app but which makes a notable improvement in the phones performance

I used RamBlow on my N97 and it works really well, but so far have seen no reason to try it on the E7 which tends to stay smooth and quick whatever I do
