SGW has 512MB RAM, once you boot up the phone, a RamDisk will be created and filled with critical OS files in the root folder (/). Leaving only 351MB for used.
Then, Android OS and other components will be loaded into the memory. This is what taking the 170MB RAM.
Browsers in desktop have been designed to use memory lavishly, on the other hand, Android app are more concern about memory. But need not worry if browser is taking too much RAM since all modern OS has Virtual memory concept. That mean, if not enough RAM, part of the storage can be used as RAM, but it will slow down tremendously of cause.
Do not worry if your RAM usage is high, that mean Android is caching your favourite App. Unused app will be suspended and if continue to be unused, will be map to a file if there is a new App require more RAM.
Ahhhh that's pretty informative. Thanks a lot! Humbly request TS to pin this up in the first post Then, Android OS and other components will be loaded into the memory. This is what taking the 170MB RAM.

You have this phone right? How much ram usage is the 'limit' before you feel some lag?
