honestly this is the worst thing about it.
i can't try any apps because i have no space. they just did the whole upgrade for my unit and i hoped that with this one they would allow apps to be stored on the expandable chip but no. is it really that hard? it's not even like i want all those garbage iPhone apps but some useful things would be good. |

Like i've mentioned...they've addressed these issues for the new bb's.
Here's how much space I have:
File Free: 106,693,182 Bytes
Don't be jealous! :D |

lets see....
- Opera Mini 5 Beta
- Google Maps
- Google Sync (might delete soon)
- ubertwitter
- BB App World
- BB Messenger 5
- Facebook App
- WeatherEye Touch (deleting it soon..kinda pointless)
- Memory Up Personal
- StormSlider Pro
- FlipSilent
- Quickpull
Additional Games:
- Guitar Hero World Tour (i was curious)
- Ferrari GT
- NFS Shift
13 MB free now....
problem is most of these apps cache within the same allotted app space so you must either remove the battery or run a RAM cleaning software to keep some space...
oh and i find actually closing apps after use gives more space too (for the same stupid reason of RAM being both space and cache too) |

I'm going to try that with the app Mach X posted a couple pages ago.

I think just OS 5.x compatibility.

Because the gods know how responsible you are with your phones. Next time don't blast it all over Facebook!

I do find the newest version of Quickpull works better than any I've ever used, though it sucks that it's necessary.
My apps:
BB App World
Facebook
BBLight - lights screen for SMS
BBSmart Alarms Pro - multiple alarms, quick alarms (paid)
BerryBuzz - different LEDs for each notification (paid)
BeWeather - sick weather app, not for Canada I don't think
CBS NFL Sports - for fantasy football
CNN - news
Miro theme - theme posted on previous page
Crackberry Launcher - launches CB mobile site
ESPN Mobile
Extralight - flashlight...my ditch it since Quickpull has one
Filescout - awesome file manager
Google Maps
Storm level
Opera Mini 5 Beta
Pandora
Patternlock lite - locks screen after x minutes, unlocks with pattern swipe
Quicklaunch - best app ever
Quickpull - battery pull app
Score Mobile - awesome sports score tracker
Screenlock - locks screen during calls
Slacker Radio
Urbanspoon
YouMail - visual voicemail
Youtube |

suggestion:
replace patternlock and screenlock with stormslide....(its the same slider as the iphone/ipod touch)
and try using bookmarks on opera instead of apps for stuff that is available via sites....
should be able to free up quite a bit with that. |

ok how do I download files via browser links? sounds like a stupid question I know...but I tried downloading a 6mb mp3 off my server and it said "file too big to download on device"
EDIT: fixed it...native browser wont download but opera wasn't downloading..i think the installation was conflicting with an older version i installed so many options weren't showing. now it even has a download manager after completely removing and reinstalling it. |

I think that's good enough considering it has tabbed browsing... |
using the BB as a modem on the laptop, this was the best result for speed:
that's what? 1/16th the speed? lol |

You mean StormSlider? Are you using that? I'm kind of apprehensive about paying for apps if I'm not really into them. I know they're only a few $, but it's the principle...I've had a couple where the devs bounce after a few months with nowhere to be found, taking off with a few hundred and disappearing. Since most apps a PIN-specific, if you have to replace your phone (which I did), you can't get a new reg code and you're screwed. It's annoying to say the least, hence the principle.
As for the CNN/ESPN/CB launchers, they're only a couple KB, so they're minimal in that sense.
However, I've noticed with the new low app memory notifier that tells you to shut down apps, a couple are sky high. Like Slacker has been like 15MB in that list, even when it hadn't even been run since the last battery pull. What's up with that? |
