Enough RAM?

[SuppliedRelic]

The specs on the Virgin Mobile website say that this phone has 768MB of RAM. Is this enough RAM for the phone to be stable and run a decent amount of apps like Skype, Pandora, and Minecraft Pocket Edition at the same time? I currently have the Kyocera Rise which only has 512MB of RAM and I can barely keep Skype and Pandora open at the same time. I am looking into getting either the Samsung Galaxy Reverb (768MB RAM) or HTC Evo V 4G (1GB RAM) for my birthday in April and would like your opinion on which I should buy.

Edit: I see that the Reverb will be $99 on 18th and 19th this month so I would appreciate a quick response. Thanks!

I think you'd need one of the super high end phones (e.g. Galaxy S3) to have all three of those apps running simultaneously without at least a few hiccups and some frustration.

I have a dual core Acer tablet with 1gb ram and Skype takes up a huge amount of memory on that while the video is running. Granted it's a tablet so the larger display takes up more memory, but on the Reverb I really don't think you'd be able to run much more than Skype and one other big app at the same time without wanting to throw the phone.

That said, it's been more than capable of handling the usual apps simultaneously like Gmail, Facebook, Twitter, BeyondPod, etc.

That being said I should probably go with the HTC Evo V 4G. I need as much RAM as possible.
