    So if you say we need t wait for 2.2 to enjoy 512 ram, thats fine, but how to make sure that my handset has 512 and not 256 in the first place? (or is it 100% that all Galaxy S have 512 just showing 256?)

      at Zec,

      Yes, That's what I have read on some forums. All of them are having this limitation because they are using 2.1

                  these 2 sites both note that 2.1 cannot use more than ~230mb of RAM. Though not official, it's still something. Hope that helps!

                  Boy, that would really suck, when is 2.2 coming out? Because in the vids on gsmarena, the galaxy S was so smooooooth

                        take note: 2.1's max ram is only 256, when we get the 2.2 upgrade, it'll show up 512.
                        this was already confirmed

                            No 512 Ram , Only Showing 256 , Is this some Dirty Selling tactics by samsung i.e realsing the phone thats not fully
                            ready for the consumer use.

                            Im not happy , we should not have to wait for updates, can
                            this be checked out by gsmarena.

                            If all stays like this then i have no choice but move on to the iphone 4 which im sure will sell as advertised.

                              I have recieved the phone , impressed with the display but found its lags when mutliple apps are opened and also dont like to text font in emails,sms,web - there fonts are not smooth but look pixellated .

                              One major concern which i would like gsm arena to take up or query as its just not me but other users and thats the ram , yes its only showing 256 and thats the reason for the lags , Now are these handsets sold in uk are not the final versions or has there been some software issues from samsung, either way its against consumer law and we need to know if we have been mislead or been sold products not fit for sale in the UK, i Would appreciate if GSMARENA can shed some light or put us to the right
                              direction.
                              Thanks

Only the N1 is guaranteed upgrades because it is "Google phone". Many other HTC phones (e.g. Magic) didn't get upgrades to newer versions of Android or only after waiting very long time (Hero).

                                        Hi. One question.
                                        Is there any possibility to stop running programs.
                                        For example wave, if you go to task manager by holding menu key there u can close programs. Galaxy s shows you the running programs (in task manager) but there is no way to close them. I know there are apps in the market but dont galaxy has its own task manager?
