The Orange and T-Mobile TyTN IIs are with a hair’s breadth of each other as far as memory is concerned. After a hard reset, the MDA Vario III reported 119MB of free storage memory and 71MB of free program memory, while Orange’s device said it had 124MB and 72MB available respectively.

The truth about low cost computing is that nobody really cares whether the machine is running Windows or Linux as long as its cheap, its easy to use and it works.
