this RAM argument is actually funny. i don't think the slowdowns of n9 is because of ram. not even close in my opinion. i don't know the exact reason (maybe the cpu?) but RAM amount is definitely not the case. my experience with the RAM of n9's was that the device almost always uses most of the ram BUT that never determined my device's speed. heck i even managed to open 30 apps without a slowdown when almost 800 mb memory was used before testing the device. anyway i'm hoping (actually sure) that those problems are solved on the sailfish device. the only thing that may consume memory is the heavy crapdroid applications (maybe good acl from jolla?). 1gb ram is not a limitation. it will be enough if the os is good/optimized/whatever enough to handle the memory amount. if you want so much RAM buy a galaxy note 3. now you can call me a fanboy.
