Memory & Battery Considerations

[sotodesler]

How much memory will this have compared to the G1? One of the main challenges with the G1 is the lack of memory.

What are the specs on the battery?

Can't find full specs on this yet.

dang, they went and made it all confusing. I learned that there are at least 2 versions of this phone:
HTC - Products - HTC Magic - Specification
HTC - Products - HTC Magic - Specification


They differ by RAM (288 vs 192), processor (MSM7200A vs MSM7201a), and *weight* (the smaller memory device is 2.5 grams heavier???)

More RAM is a welcomed addition. I always thought the G1 was too low on system space.

the only thing that keeps me on the g1/dream is the physical keyboard... I really am not a big fan of the on-screen ones....

Why? The G1 is bulky and the battery life sucks.
