I love android and I am happy with my phone, but it is so underpowered compared to basically every new android device out there. I mean 256mb of ram when everything a few months after it came with 1gb or more. I ahte having to delete apps to allow enough memory to do basic processes.
plus it lags alot on screen changes and going from app to app. It's simply underpowered. I really want an X but I will wait until fall next year when I can get a new every 2 and I'll scoop up a 4g android device.
I'm pretty sure the newer phones have 384MB or 512MB of RAM; NOT 1GB+
You're getting system RAM mixed up with onboard flash storage.
The DROID is not tremendously underpowered compared to the new devices, simply because it is still a Cortex A8 device; and not the older ARM architecture. Now, THOSE devices are truly underpowered.
