    Although I do not have to many applications installed my free memory is 79.5 mb. When I look at the applications that i have, adding up their amount of kb and mb do not even come close to adding up.

    What applications are eating this memory? How can I get memory back?

    Installed I have:

    Google Maps
    Facebook
    Quicksearch with Google
    Crackberry Quicksearch
    Weatherbug
    Scoremobile
    Viigo
    Poynt
    Bolt
    Opera
    Blackberry App World
    App Store
    Quickpull Lite
    BuzzMePro

    Hit menu (bb key) switch application and you should see only 5 things running (messenger, browser, home screen, phone, messages)

    If anything else is running shut them down.

    How do you have viigo set up? If you set it so that it doesn't move to background, doesn't save on exit, and updates less often it won't be a memory hog. And this is pretty basic but have you erased the default languages that come preinstalled? Those take up memory as well.

    Also, like cereal killer said, make sure you close the applications you're not using. If you leave a few of them running and don't realize it, that can eat up your memory.

    Check your Database Sizes (go to Options -> Status -> click BB key)

    Your messages/SMS/tasks/memos might be too large. Make sure to set messages to be removed after 15 days.

    How can you reboot without using Quickpull. Or do you mean turning off then on my phone?

    Alt/right shift/delete will reboot the device.

    Do that a second time before the phone boots up. Its equivalent to a battery pull.

    went up to 84.6 does this sound about right for what I have installed?

    doesn't sound right.. do you have pictures or anything stored on your phone instead of using the SDCard?

    That's sounds pretty close to where you should be I start at 105 with a few less app's then you have. Do you clear your event log and call log that will help a little. I use meterberry and that clears my event log each night for me and is a very good app for watching and managing your memory.
