I know that the curve has less memory out of the box than the pearl but geezs, I have the same exact apps, actually a few less than my old pearls and each day the mem on my curve gets less and less!

I am NOT an email power user, a few saved here and there, no pics, videos, etc in memory - I have a GB card with all large stuff on it.

Here's what I have installed:

Journal bar
Total fitness
Free news
Pocket Day Pro
Multi Alarm
Jive talk
411
BB Alerts
Repligo

with all this on the pearl, and a few more I still had like 27-30 mbs left.
with the curve, I have less than 14mb?? And each day it gets less even with a battery pull.

Question is I only had it for 3 weeks, whats gonna happen done the line as the mem gets worse?? I'm afraid one day it will give me an out of memory error.

I have a few days til the 30 days are up - wondering if I should get a new one?

Has anyone else seen this with there 8300?
Will RIM release a patch?
Do the 8800's have this issue?

Thanks for any input in advance

Its not that the Curve has less memory, both have 64MB. The newer OS takes up a little bit more space. Its very possible one of your applications is eating up space. Are all of them certified for use with the Curve?

[davistld01]

This sounds sooooo stupid...but, how do I check my available memory?

[NCBuckeye]

options, status

[sonic117]

yea im on the same fence here... im not going to return my Curve because i love it so much but this whole space issue is really starting to piss me off. I check it daily only to see it decreasing by the day. I do not even have any power apps installed except for Google Maps. Any ideas? I dont want to keep pulling the battery out just to free up space. There has to be a better idea.

Did you run and allow the setup wizard to complete when you first powered up the 8300? That's the only way to delete the additional installed languages.

I reinstalled the latest Rogers firmware however remove all languages except English and French. I have installed BBWeather, Repligo, empower mail, viewer, opera mini, sudoku, Texas holdem and I have left 23668880 Bytes!!!

How about others?

When I was using the BlackBerry 8800 my free onboard memory was between 25-27MB with the Curve it always sits around 12MB free onboard memory. I'm using the same 3rd party apps also and using no language packs, I just chalked it up to the OS being larger and using more space. I haven't had any issues like email, text messages or call logs disappearing.

[bweppner]

Try this:

I use Google Maps vs. the pre-installed Telenav application. I just deleted Telenav and it freed up 15MB of memory!

[sherifnix]

I cleaned out the extra languages, help, bbm etc... and i sit around 21mb free.

[fkjr2]

Yes - I ran the setup wizard and removed the extra languages - no telenav either - still have shrinking memory :(

[fkjr2]

I did confirm with the software developers from each app that they work ok on the curve so no app is installed wrongly.

[buttbutt]

I think both the original ATT and the new rogers ones have leaks somewhere. I noticed it more after running Zen theme. But I fluctuate between 20 something and 12 or less. And I seem to regularly have the losing messages (read ones now, new seem to stay this time) and logs. My 8700 never had the losing message issue (or perhaps it is a feature to clear memory). But I did notice a number of non user initiated restarts with the 8700. I guess they cleared memory. Perhaps there was a higher threshold for those on the 8700 vs the 8300 which would rather remove messages?

[Inphektion]

I have 23mb free. have the rogers OS, removed languages, removed sample video and have installed google maps, beyond411, klondike, and 3 in house apps.

[jeremyckitching]

I say you all go back to the 8700 series! YEAH BABY! Haha...just playing. Just a line from a jealous T-Mobile user who doesn't have an 8300 yet

But I do have lots of available memory
