It's probably one of your 3rd party App, try a battery pull with the device on.

you can try using the desktop manager to delete them. I did that with brickbreaker

Options> Status> File free is your free memory, I recommend anything above 10,000,000 bytes. Lower than that and the phone starts to lag a bit.

And you can delete apps that came with the phone but be wary. Do some resarch before you delete anything that might change the phone's behavior. Good example is the native web browser. If you delete the browser, the phone (apparently, I don't know for a fact) has a lot of problems.

Many of the icons that come with the phone are not installed apps and take only tiny amounts of memory. Hide them. Delete and they will be pushed to you again by your provider.

Removing non-core function is a well established technique for freeing up memory.

The most important deletions are the sample media and background pictures. That will free up about 5 Mb of space if they are present.
