Vinmont, not wise to wait for your file free to go so low before rebooting.

JS - yes - I realize that - this has got to be the first time since I got the 8300 that this happened. As I like to try various apps and OS versions, and I've loaded / unloaded loads of stuff over the past year, I tend to check free memory fairly frequently to see what's phone-friendly and what isn't.
After a reboot, I'm back at about 12MB, which has been typical for a while now. I recently put an 8GB card in the phone, and will be moving all images and most ringtones there. Also already went through the exercise of removing foreign language files, the BB help file, BB messenger (I use JiveTalk), etc.
I've taken off a number of unused themes that I had collected over the last year, and will probably stip off a few more.
Now that BBWeather works again, I dropped YWeather and that other free one published recently (only need the weather once!).
3rd party apps down to BBWeather, Viigo (tango beta - that might be a memory leak culprit?), MaraTick, JiveTalk, Opera Mini, Live Search and Google Maps. Got rid of the Yahoo applets -- cute, but slow and big. Also have the updated free version of Docs to Go.
With all this, I average about 11.5 to 12MB free memory, and the 8300 seems fine with this - no lost messages, etc., no freeze ups - works fine. I just have to remember to keep an eye on it until/unless I manage to load up a more stable version of the OS...
