Information about 8310 memory space

[Goran_]

When I go to File Manager - System info, I see the following information:

Storage memory: 17.95MB
Used: 14.83MB
Free: 3.12MB

Program memory: 44.70MB
Used: 27.78MB
Free: 16.92MB

Does this mean that when I install programs, I can only use 16.92MB? And that above 3.12MB is used only for storing documents,music, etc?

Also, if I install program on a storage card, will any of the phone memory be used for saving some application specific data for this application?

How much memory does phone need to operate properly? And can it use Storage memory for its operations, or only program memory?

thanks,
Goran

Goran,

Storage memory is the built-in memory, it's used for storing anything at all. If you have only 3Mb left that's too little. If you use Internet Explorer often, you'll soon be getting messages like 'Your free space is running low'. Try installing to the SD card as many programs as you can except those that need to be installed in the main memory (e.g. WM5torage).

And 'Program memory' is the same as RAM on a desktop PC. It's used for running programs. 17Mb free says that some programs are running in the background. Immediately after reboot you should have around 27-30Mb free.

Thanks, George, I got it now. After installing WM6 tings now look better.
