    i am still confused about the whole issue of memory and memory leak.my file free measures about 13. i have no apps on my pearl but i do have the wall street journal link which i use maybe once a day and am very careful to close when done . still by the end of the day i am down to like 10 or 9 file free.
    so here is my question. on crackberry there are thousands of apps . but if this device is so marginally able to function as it relates to memory what good are all these apps. to put it differently my device works great as a phone and as a e mail device. is that all i should expect
    thanks

    Honestly, I can start off a day at around 18 and end up at 11, but if I restart it then I am right back to having 18 again.

    I think it should be around 12 to get optimal performance. I only have one them on mine. Not sure if I want apps yet or not. Haven't found any I REALLY love.

    And the big deal is, if your memory goes below a certain point it will start deleting text/call logs/appointments. It needs it's free space

    I am having the same problems as you all this hype about BB's I dont feel the love at all. I will go back to a Windows or a Palm device when I upgrade if I dont change my mind. I do not like having to do a "battery pull" at the end of every day that is so ridiculous given the BB's are so called so advanced it looks like they would have thought things through a little more than they obviously did.

    It is not RIM's fault, the majority of the useless preinstalled crap that takes up device memory is from your carrier, the preinstalled wallpapers being the biggest, followed by the blackberry sample video. 4.5 is a lot better because RIM got rid of the preinstalled items that took up so much memory...

    Go to Options/ Advanced Options/ Applications and delete the ones you don't want.

    do you guys use maxmem or crack mem?

    I use max mem. Be careful if you delete the themes. This will cause some themes to not download properly.

    Is there a way to put all the apps on a memory card instead of the phone?

    That would be nice but I dont think so. Some of the app's will let you put a certain amount on a card but very little.

    Downloading OTA is very easy. Just click on this:

    http://mobile.blackberrytrade.com/

    Then go to Apps and MaxMem and hit OTA.

    Ok, so I read the Increasing file free thread about 10 times now, and I still don't understand what is actually required to get your memory up. I'm not so much a computer person, and would probably just ruin my phone if I tried putting a whole new operating system on it. I'm not good at that type of stuff, so what can one do without putting a whole new OS on?

    My phone is terrible with memory, and I don't run MySpace or Facebook, no viigo (whatever it is), deleted the sample video, and have few applications. I still at this moment, only have 5.9mb of space.

    Edit: I don't want to delete voice dialing and all of the other things that MaxMem brags about deleting. Why can't the phone just work without deleting what was put on it from the factory?

    if u dont have a lot of apps on ur phone and ur running at 5.9mb, then it sounds like a problem. Either that or maybe ur reading it wrong and its 59mb. dont know if it goes that high tho without nothing downloaded.

    I have a ton of stuff including myspace, face book, eporates, viigo, etc and still hover around 26/27mb on a battery pull.
