The current version of the Nokia IT, the N810 has the following relevant specs:
Memory
* DDR RAM 128MB
* Flash 256MB
Storage
* Up to 2GB internal memory
* Support for compatible miniSD and microSD memory cards (with extender). Supports cards up to 8GB. (SD cards over 2GB must be SDHC compatible.)
Jay, I'll gladly take either/both of the Nokia's sitting on your junk shelf. Mine has been stable, great fun, and an interesting learning experience. Clearly this is not a consumer device. Mine came with an unstable OS, but the upgrade to the most recent OS made all the difference, at least for me. While I would only recommend it to either a gadget enthusiast or a Linux partisan, there is much value in this device. It's not a PDA and won't (despite the available Garnet VM) replace my Palm device, but given its feature set I've found many uses for it.
