Device Memory is texts, emails, and O.S. I just called to ask them the same question and you cant boost up your application memory at all

4 months later and I’m even more disappointed.

Yes, I’ve updated to the v5 OS, and it’s much faster with GUI things, and prettier, but it’s also much faster at memory leaking! I have relatively few apps on my Storm, but I have to reset two or three times a day, even if I barely use anything but Podtrapper. It seems to leak the memory especially quickly if I use the Browser. Very disappointed.

I have an 8Gig card! It can’t be accessed by programs??? I thought memory addressing limitations went out with the Commodore 64! This ought to be an embarrassment to RIM.

I can’t wait for my contract to run out so I can get a ‘Droid’! I think there might be hope in that system…

I am a ‘newby’ with my BB (Storm), and I’ve been really disappointed at the limitations I’ve found in (what ought to be) a ‘leading edge’ device.

The Sony TH55 (PalmOS) was what I’d hoped the Storm would replace (the TH55 is 5 year old technology), but what I’ve seen so far of the evolution of the Blackberry, in the Storm, it hasn’t even surpassed that Palm device, in software capabilities anyway.

LauncherX for PalmOS, swapped code in and out of main memory to run it, and was able to access a 4G SD card and bring software into the 32meg main RAM space.

The only thing I have with the Storm, that lacked in the Sony is an integrated phone, and an on-board GPS. The software that’s available falls far short, vs what’s available for the Sony.

This is off topic a bit but since the article mentions the new appworld application, I would like to caution people to go to the blackberry forums before downloading this new app. There are some issues with the curve and you may want to wait till Rim resolves these issues. Especially if you have the older “working” version of app world.

Guys, nobody knows when this will launch or the full feature list. Check the source article, it was a post from Ronen reading a document found on the web and extracting some mentioned features to talk about. There are no details beyond that nor has RIM announced anything!

I guess the posts about this should have been tagged “rumor” or “speculation” or “pre release info subject to change, refining, or revocation”…

Kyle,

You say RIM has updated the App World documentation to 1.1. What about the program itself? Has it been updated?

Thanks for the info DavidB. Even if Aerize Card loader doesn’t actually run apps from SD, it still allows the user to install a huge amount of apps and Aerize manages everything from there. I think its a good interim solution to the extremely limited memory available now.
