my bb has 10883670 bytes free when i look at my status. i think that its because im saving all my pictures in the wrong fille (saving it on my bb rather than my media card) i got a 512 mb card.

i have these 3rd party programs installed in my bb...
-Opera mini
-google maps
-jive talk

i woke up this morning and the little sundial keeps spinning and my bb was running slow.

how much free bytes should i have inorder to make my bb run smooth?

i would suggest that anything under 16 would be a problem, save all you can to your memory card. You might want to think about upgrading to a larger card.

Never seen the sundial :?

16? how much does it need inorder to run smoothly

[fransteez]

yeah the sun dial that keeps spinning which makes my bb lag

[jsanders]

The object might be an hourglass, and it is not what is making your device lag, but rather an indicator that your device IS lagging.

Remove the battery and reboot.

o yeah an hour glass....but how much free memory should i have in order to make my bb run well

[jsanders]

I say 15+mb free is good. 10 is low.
Your mileage may vary.

See post #2 above.

Yes 10 is low ringtone pics and themes are usually the biggest eater of memory. Try putting all pics and ringtones on the memory card, i only keep one or two themes on my device. You can buy a 8 gig card for aroound 35 bucks.

You need atleast 12mb+ to keep your blackberry up and running smoothly. Try this http://forums.crackberry.com/f3/how-...-memory-34633/

There is no set number, I don't know where you get 10 from, there is no law or rule, only a suggestion.

I have seen Pearls and Curves both lose all their call logs and SMS texts, and have 21MB free at the time.

It is a rule of thumb... YMMV.
