Looks like the resource monitor from ovi store doesn't show buffers/cache, which makes it useless for following RAM usage.

RAM should be in use so that's normal, question is how much of it is used as cache and thus reallocated when some application needs it. Running "free" from the command line would be more informative.

Code:
~ $ free -m
             total         used         free       shared      buffers
Mem:           985          760          224            0           17
-/+ buffers:                743          241
Swap:          412           94          317
Above shows that here we have 241 MB free (free memory + buffered memory) for applications to claim. Even when there are no apps running that are started by you the most of stock applications are prestarted by start up scripts (see all those -prestart flags in top output) and thus using the RAM. I suppose it's made that way so that quick response of basic functions (phone calls, web browser, etc.) would be guaranteed. Above output is from N9 with current uptime of 29 days.

Your top output seems to be cropped from the right side so names of the processes aren't shown. Try to print out something like this:

It would be also nice if TMO had [code] tags that didn't wrap the lines. :/
