And periodically you need to manage your memory to prevent resouces from being tied up. Always shut apps down when you are done with them - press the menu key and select close or exit. Check the apps running in the background by pressing the alt and the back key at the same time. That opens the device switcher. There will be 5 always open, call log, message folder, home screen and browser. All others can be closed.
Keep in mind that your file free memory is something to pay attention to, as well as your browser cache especially if your problems happen when you're in your browser. You do need to follow the memory optimization guide Reed linked above. Before you do that, you should take a couple steps to free up memory now - and these are the steps to follow if your ff drops to below 12mb again (I also put in good browser settings for you:-)). Check your file free number at Options-status:
First clear your cache:
To clear your browser's cache, while in your browser> press menu key> select options> select cache operations> select clear content cache> press back.
Then reset your Curve. A soft is usually good, but a hard reset is close to a battery pull:
Soft Reset for the Curve: press alt>right shift>delete keys at the same time.
Hard Reset: press the alt>right shift>delete keys again after the BlackBerry's screen lights up after the first reset.
Or do a battery pull
Then set up your browser:Browser Settings:
Browser settings for improved view. While in your browser, press menu key> options> browser configuration> check all the boxes> make sure browser is set to internet browser> show images set to On WML and HTML Pages> emulation mode set to BlackBerry> click back and save.
And finally, take a good look at your apps and delete the ones you don't need.
Good luck!

The OP stated he does batt pulls and the problem gradually returns over a day or two. Often this is a sign of a file free memory problem. The steps Reed and I outlined are those all BlackBerry users should know and follow.

Until the problem is solved, all ideas and suggestions are welcome. When it is resolved, we all learn something from the process.
