The original international one are 8 megs Storage RAM and 4 megs Flash ROM. The increased Flash ROM of the international ones is to allow it to handle multiple languages. I.e. the european one has english, german, french and spanish I believe, and thus requires 2+ megs Flash ROM to accomidate the additional 3 languages.
Yes, in reality, the Asian ones are better, you just need to flash the OS back to English (find someone with the same unit but in English, perform a ROM backup, then restore it on your unit - Please do not contact me for instructions, I will not answer, but there are plenty of resources online that explains this). After that, you are left with 2 extra MB of flash ROM in your unit, and with the program called "JackFlash" you can use this memory to store programs or static databases (yes, unlike PocketPC, the extra flash ROM on the Palm Vx can be used by the user). Again, do not contact me regarding OS backup/restore, files, or anything software related to this Palm pilot, I WILL SIMPLY IGNORE YOU.
