Don't do a battery pull unless you have to, to clear some problem that a reset won't clear, like a non-responsive keyboard. For qwerty devices, that's Alt-R.Shft-Del. For Pearl's, SoftReset
I use to do it once a week because I thought it was good for it. Since I heard differently I've not done one in 3 weeks. (I did cheat a few times since I heard)

If i see that my file free has dropped below 12,000,000 should I automatically do a soft reset on my Pearl?
That would be a good idea. I see from your sig that you've already optimized your memory. If you don't mind, post your file free after the reset. I'm curious to know how much it helps.
My file free after running soft reset with all the apps in my sig shows: 18,237,xxx. Before the OS upgrade (I was running 4.3.0.71) I would have 21mb+ after running soft reset.
Thanks, that's a useful reference point. I'm not familiar with a lot of your apps, so I don't know how big they are. I know the Pearl has to dedicate memory to the SureType database that qwerty models don't have.
Reed, Jayden, thanks for the feedback. I thought BBslim's memory sounded a little low even after his reset, but I'm not familiar with most of his apps.
