Did you follow all the tips here?
http://www.blackberryforums.com/gene...-logs-sms.html
I have about 25 third-party apps loaded and am hovering around 20mb free.
Then, as a next move, consider reloading your OS fresh to your device, and following the suggestions here:

no third party themes... unused languages gone... help app gone... all pics on the card
i have about 3mbs total between email/sms/mms/phone call logs total

i might have to reinstall the OS... yes?

10MB isn't really "low" (this isn't a PC). It's not the most you could have but 10MB is actually quite a bit of space if you aren't using device memory for media storage.

Oh yeah one last thing (not sure if it's in the memory thread or not). Since you are saving your pics to the card. Media>Menu>options>Reserved Pictures Memory = (0MB).

MMS Takes a lot of space as well? Got any? Messages>Alt +M

I'll bet your content store is big and 2Mb of sms is huge. Have you cleared your browser cache? I don't use Opera but doesn't it have a cache you can clear as well?

i recommend doing a battery pull, that usually clears a lot of memory issues. It could be a bad OS install, you may want to try to re-install the OS. Viigo could take a lot of memory, try reducing the number of articles, and uncheck save on exit.

You say you have installed bbm, map quest nav, google maps, iskoot, facebook, viigo, ramble, opera, cnbc, brickbreaker, zagat...
Could be way too much! It is nto how many apps, it is how big and how much room each takes. If you have done all the other things you say and still only have 10mb left, I have to say you have too much software loaded.
These are only handheld devices with 64mb of RAM.

That is my guess as well. That is the only way. Clear out some of the applications you don't need/use.

nice! you are getting there.
There is no magic number. I have seen a Pearl delete SMS and call logs at 22mb, but that is rare. I recommend you get above 15 mb free to stay safe.

Might not give you much but try ALT + LGLG>Menu>Clear Logs.
Any programs that you don't routinely use that you might be able to dump? Do you get attachments in your regular email? I got back a ton by searching on email w/ attachments and dumping some of the large older ones.

also after performing several steps to clean memory, do a battery pull to completely free up memory. make sure to clear up old viigo feeds if you arent using them as well. Just curious, any reason you use both google maps and mapquest?
