Guys, has anyone noticed that they upped the RAM from 256 to 384MB?

Yeah that was discussed quite a few pages back.

Hmmm..
Q – Does GPS work internationally?
A – No, the GPS chipset on the 8830 is disabled when the device is in GSM/GPRS mode due to Qualcomm requirement.
....
How about X1? |

Ok max, whatever that helps you sleep at night (sorry just had to say that  ). Planning to get one myself, so yeah more space would be nice. Btw, I read somewhere that X1 has 3D acceleration support now. Can anyone confirm?
tell me exactly what it is you need more internal memory for that you can't do on a memory card?? My iPaq is a workhorse, it has 64MB internal but I have about 50 apps installed, and this has not slowed down the phone one bit.

Have notice the HTC Touch Dimond, Pro and HD all sport a back button as a hard key. Anyone used this on the Dimond ? I was wondering what the exact funtionality of this was and if something like it will appear on the X1.
Thanks JD
If you look closely at the recent X1 video reviews, you'll see the left soft key is used as a back button Consistent with many phones. |

Different types of memory have different speeds. Flash RAM is a lot slower than SDRAM. |

Ok I question, If i get a non US version of X1(which is i) will it support all the frequencies in the US or not? |

X1i will be missing the 850MHz band (common in the U.S. rural areas). It also does not support the 1700MHz 3G band that T-Mobile uses.
AT&T users in urban areas shouldn't miss anything.

I realise this but it's fast enough to play video, read maps for gps, run applications (the "work" of the app get's done in RAM) etc. And 384MB is a lot of RAM for WM incase no one has noticed

but T-Mobile 3G also utilizes the 2100MHz band, so, wouldn't that be okay for X1i owners?
What's the difference between the two anyways? does it mean that some places only use 1700 and other places use 2100? |

If I were you I would verify that T-Mobile is using the 2100 MHz for 3G in your area. Also check whether everything is compatible (I don't know). The X1a may very well be fully compatible with both T-Mobile and AT&T.
@max_wedge
I'm thinking the extra RAM is prep for WM7...or an apology for no accelerometer

Firstly, you cannot assume the user will always have a memory card in use. Also, what happens if some people installed all this application on the memory card, but for some reason he has to change the memory card due to various reasons, now because he installed in on his card, he could no longer use it . |

Not sure about your area, but I think in my country, the different bands used by the network operator do not really overlap much I think. So say if the area has 850, then the 2100 will not be used (I think for most of the areas anyway) |

First, the X1 will have a quad band GSM including the 850 which basically means that it will work anywhere in the world on GSM, however the X1a will have the 3G band of 850 instead of the 900 band.
second for 3g usage you need at least 2 compatible bands with your carrier since one will be used for download and the other for upload.
so basically if you have the X1i you can use it for voice calls in US but you wont be able to use the 3G network |
