Traditionally a 'b' stands for bit, while a 'B' stands for Byte (8 bits).

Also traditionally, Bytes (kilobytes, megabytes, gigabytes) are used when it is about storage (RAM, FDD, HDD or other), whereas when they talk about bandwidth or 'speed' (notice I put the '') , they talk in bits (gigabits per second, etc).

So no, I don't think it should be Gb in the title. GB is fine, since it's talking about RAM.

Read the link. Samsung is claiming that the phone has '6Gb', right next to stating it has '4GB' of ROM. In reality the phone has 768MB of RAM.

Not cool.

I've seen the link. My comment wasn't about it. It was about what I commented about (comment-above).

And sure it's not cool. I've seen non-genuine thumb-drives have false capacity written on them, but coming from Samsung .. It's weird.

The comment was quoting the link...

I stand corrected. Image is the testimony. Submitter is the court clerk who corrected misspelling in his transcripts for the sake of grammar. Commenter corrected the transcript to include misspelling for the sake of authenticity. I corrected commenter's version for the sake of grammar thinking he agreed with image grammatically while he was talking authenticity. Either ways, I stand corrected.

You are confusing me now !!

We don't want that ! I just got my nerd analytical side out. Can be scary, but it doesn't bite :)

It should be Gb, because in the image it's Gb, not GB. Look closely.

Yeah but still its SAMSUNG is faking it.
