(on your storm Go to options, memory, and check APPLICATION memory)

If you do a battery pull (reboot) you start with approx 20-30 mb (based on what you have installed) but as the hours go by the application memory becomes less and less …until its under 20mb, and starts becoming slow
and glitchy. So you have to do another reboot.

Storm comes with 1GB flash and 8GB SD memory – but after the OS and core apps, you are only left with a tenth (100 mb) or so for applications. Makes no sense to have an app store when you cannot use them ?

Iphone / Android do not have that limitation as they use all the memory available for application memory.

I hear Storm 3 will come with 1gb Flash, but makes no mention how much is “Application Memory”. Given that OS6 alone requires even more memory – 512MB, wonder how much “Application memory” will be left after core apps are installed.

Anyone know ?
