Nokia N Series now with less RAM ?

It doesn't make sense to me either. It seems like they are trying to save money or most probably will be releasing newer handsets with more RAM so that we will have to buy them instead. As a developer it is pretty frustrating working with limited RAM in a mutitasking environment such as Symbian. Why not cut out providing less external memory (memory card) and more RAM ?Graph by biskero.org
