What do most folks recommend for a reasonable amount of free memory to have on an 8330 Curve?

I know what was suggested when I had my Pearl but the Curve has much more memory than the Pearl did so I'm not sure what number I should be shooting for.

I have an 8gb Sandisk memory card in my Curve - and under status - my Curve shows 37419556 Bytes under "File Free" and 83623936 Bytes under "File Total".

Other than Empower Pro, Pac Man, Cberry Launcher, NY Times, ESPN, Infospace, Pinstack, WeatherEye and the Bphone & Precision plazmic themes I've not installed anything else on my Curve.

Thanks!

The magic number seems to be 12,000,000. You have plenty.

37 mb is a good number i've seen most people have around 35 to 45 status free have you done any memory optimization ?

I have 4GB card and average 39 for free device memory. I am probably too careful but my BB is a major business tool for me.

Nope - I haven't done anything.

I'm assuming you mean removing the standard wallpapers, sample video and other applications that come standard that may not be used by me?

I know with my Pearl I removed all the semitic characters and languages other than English - as well as the stock wallpapers, videos and BB messenger.

I've got over 47 free I'm so proud of myself!

I'm at 37 and have done no memory optimizing

I sit at around 47 free at all times however, 12 is the minimum to keep your device stable. I would assume it would be difficult to dip that low on the cdma curve, seeing as it comes with 96.

this makes me want a cdma phone i struggle with my 8310 to keep it above 20

[TerryA]

I stay around 34 for my curve

CDMA owners are not allowed to brag,
My 8320 sits at 25mb with 6 3rd party apps counting CB. It will drop to about 19 over the course of a 24 hour period. I do my mem cleaning routine every morning to get back to 25 to start my day. Everything is good and steady in BB land

Thats sounds "exelant"

I don't mean to highjack but on a seperate note my 8330 came with 96mb total which is...... what about.....32mb more than the 8320???

I don't mind hijacking for this: OJ! That is a great avatar! Creepy and funny, he could use a little conditioner, though

And you are correct gmb!

There really is no point for a CDMA Curve owner to even consider optimizing their memory. It would take a huge amount of messages, applications and browser cache to come anywhere near the point of "low memory"...

I am jealous. I want 96Mb *stomps out of the room pouting* haha

[RenegadeBB]

I cleaned mine out best I could almost the same day I got it I'm hovering right under 60 I've got 4.5 and a 4gb card

aside from doing all of the crazy stuff on stoners guide, is there any way to get mine up to 20+, i'm almost always around 12 - 14 with a 2 gig sd card, i have deleted a lot of apps that it came with and only installed google earth, gmail, opera - mini and oz messenger, i deleted telenav maps, bb maps, the sample video it came with..

what am i doing wrong that i have so little memory available?

[Clintonde]

I have optimized mine. I subscribe to the theory of the more memoury, the better. True, cdma curve owners do have a ton of memoury to work with in the first place, however more available memoury equals even more space for apps and other stuff.

It's OK buddy , I don't even need all of mine. Hows about I split it with ya? Here, you take 16mb of mine , go ahead , I want you to have it.

You feel better now?

[Synergie]

Funny thing.... my friend works at RIM tech support and has a Curve.... a GSM one. I got a CDMA one I don't have any trouble rubbing in how much free memory I have lol.

I am sitting at about 42 MB file free right now. And I have installed a BUNCH of 3rd party apps and themes too!

I DO feel for you guys with GSM curves though!

[xplode]

My curve sits at about 47 megs... runs flawlessly

[BingCherry]

How do I know if I have a cdma or a gsm? (What does that stand for, anyway?)

Cdma = sprint, vzw, altell
Gsm = all others, mostly

Gsm phones use sim cards. Cdma phones do not.
