Are you overloading your BlackBerry even with the latest memory increases?

Earlier in BlackBerry, we had to conserve memory by choosing the important applications to keep and toss unused ones.  Today we have the flexibility of keeping all sorts of applications with the huge memory increases and improvements in developing the apps to begin with preventing memory leaks and things of that nature.  But in the end, they all add up somehow.  Some apps will be 100K, others will be 800K to even megabytes. Do you continue keeping only applications you use or do you go app-crazy like an iPhone user and just download everything?  Drop us a comment below (via PC or Mac) and include which Berry you’re rockin’ as well as how many apps you have installed.

    Funny, I treat my 8520 as if it only had 20mb of memory. I don't have it for fun so I pretty much need it to respond as fast as it can. I delete everything I know I will never use and NO, I still have Brick Breaker! :D

    Apps I have:

    BB App World
    BBM
    SugarSync
    UberTwitter
    PayPal
    Navita Translator
    Dictionary.com
    BeBuzz Free
    Color ID
    BerryTorch
    File Scout
    iSkoot for BB
    BOLT Browser
    WordPress for BB
    Docs2Go
    PDF2Go
    GooGle Sync
    Google Maps
    fixmo beta
    cameramute

    as a head count i got 19 applications at the moment. i do feel it is much and definitely don't need it all. i was alot more conservative on my pearl using only what i needed.

  • Jeff

    Have about 50 apps – most of which I do use, 50MB remaining, and, I'm beginning to feel like memory will soon be an issue :-(

  • Chris

    I have about 20 on my 9000 and I only have 20mb free. What BB do you have?

  • Jeff

    9700. Has 256MB RAM – yours has 128MB. If I had your BB, I'd be short 70MB!!!

  • navoo
