Default Device memory shortage / leakage ?

Read a few different posts but didn't see something about my issue, although I'm sure the answer is lurking somewhere on here.

This is my second storm had the 1st edition which was less buggier then then my now Storm 2 edition. The problem I seem to have is that my device memory for apps is forever running out and causing my phone to freeze anytime I use any application. I don't have many app's and am well below the threshold for memory usage. Is there a app memory leak going on perhaps and if so, what is done to prevent it ? The only thing I can think of that could be the culprit would be my UberTwitter app but even that is just a shot in the dark.

Any help would be appreciated as I love my Storm but I'm almost at the point where it's going to become less a phone and more a projectile

Default Here's some help with memory

Most common memory hog: Apps still open. You can check what is open (so you can close it) by holding down the BBery button - and anyting open will appear.

Most common overall fix: Unfortunately a battery pull, which removes all apps on restarting.

General help with reducing Memory hogs: Here's a good memory load reducing guide from Alex - just skip the steps that don't apply to your phone.
Go TO: Blackberry Help (its right next to the "Forums" tab in CB -->

Setting up the Email on your BlackBerry Smartphone

Hope this helps.

Default

I don't have a solution for you but I am haveng the same issue. Memory goes down to 0!

I had to do 3 or 4 battey pulls per day.

I deleted all but a few essential applications. Memory is now around at 11MB and holding steady.

I used to have 80+ MB. Not sure where the leakage is coing from.
