Storage60 MB64 MB
CPU600 MHz ARM11 in GSMArena's exact production review; no specific chip identity inferred–
MemoryUp to 60 MB internal user storage in the maker datasheet; headline storage records that maximum. 128 MB RAM from GSMArena's exact review, not inferred from free memory.Up to 64 MB fixed internal user storage in the reproduced Nokia specification at NokiaMuseum, corroborated by production reviews. Installed RAM and CPU are omitted because the maker sources read do not establish them; user storage is not physical RAM.
Storage typemicroSD expansion up to 16 GB and 1 GB card supplied in maker launch/datasheet; not E60 RS-MMC or E62 miniSDHot-swappable miniSD under the removable rear cover, confirmed by exact owner guide. OSnews and The Register received a 64 MB card; this removable card is distinct from internal storage. No maximum inferred from later E61i microSD specifications.
