Am I doing something wrong or is Android just that good at RAM management? I'd rather not pay an extra $60 for something that will never get used.

More RAM = more apps in memory = don't have to reload startup routines every app launch and destroy resources

I'm familiar with the concept. It just looked super-aggressive before I figured out what my mistake was. Also, it turns out that I have 1GB. I haven't looked at the phone stats in a long time.
