Code:
Jan  1 04:00:01 (none) kernel: [    0.000000] Memory: 490MB 2MB = 492MB total
whereas I thought it was supposed to come with 1GB like the N9 (RAM isn't mentioned in the firmware release notes).

At least I hope they are not using this:

Code:
Jan  1 04:00:08 (none) kernel: [   15.327514] ramzswap: Memory limit set to 65536 kB
Jan  1 04:00:08 (none) kernel: [   15.327514] ramzswap: Using backing swap device: /dev/mapper/encswap
Jan  1 04:00:08 (none) kernel: [   15.352386] Adding 466552k swap on /dev/ramzswap0.  Priority:-1 extents:1 across:466552k
to justify calling it a 1GB device. Technically it's still RAM and it may be able to hold up to 1GB, but that would be stretching it a lot even for Nokia.
N950 and N9 both have 1GB physical RAM. A smaller part of it is used for compressed swap in ram, based on http://code.google.com/p/compcache/ project. Prototypes before devkit release may have less physical memory (512MB) and that is normal process for hardware development.

My N950 device shows 985MB of available RAM and 255MB of swap. As swap is compressed in RAM, numbers don't add up and that's expected too.
