I have an SMT 5600. When I first boot up, I opne Task Manager and I can see I have about 10,000 KB of available memory with no applications runing. My habit is to close programs that I am not using. But After a day of opening and closing programs to do stuff like surf the web, make apointments, make calls, open/close contacts, review call history take pictures and play solitaire, I find available memory drops to 6,000 KB when no applications are running. If I do this process long enough without a reboot, at some point available memory drops low enough that programs will not open and I get a warning message about memory being low. So I tend to power-off/reboot at night if I see I'm in the 6,000 KB range.

WM5.0 does a pretty good job of managing memory better so that you rarely have to do that - I've been able to go at least 4 weeks without having to do a soft reset on my K-JAM.

I just got my T Mobile MDA/HTC Wizard?Qtek 9100 form factor PDA/phone yesterday after much hype and several missed release dates. So far it is okay, I had several weird issues so far, including a couple of soft resets to get this unit back on track. My most important programs transferred from my HP 6515 (the unit that the MDA is replacing) I am very happy with the layout and design of the unit, it seems like I did not lose much even though the screen is much smaller that my old iPAQ, it did not take long to get used to. The resolution is great and it looks really bright and the cleartype function looks great. The phone documentation is made for someone that has already used this type of PDA/ Phone, a novice would have a difficult time at best, and I still have not found any reference to the volume slider on the side of the phone (finally.) The phone quality is okay; it feels decent in your hand although I wish that they would have used a little more aluminum instead of plastic to finish the case with. At any rate it is decent looking and feels okay. The first really big gripe that I personally have is (what happened to the backup feature in the 4.1 active sync?) If you are like me always experimenting with software combinations that sometimes reek havoc on the OS, backup capabilities are a necessity that is going to make my life miserable somewhere in the near future (probably when the next ROM upgrade is released.) Knowing T Mo as I do that will be sometime in the very distant future. The keyboard slide mechanism is cheesy at best, being a power user I foresee that being my first trouble area, I will let you know how it turns out. Basically I was not that put off by my old 6515, at first the initial software issues had me climbing the walls, but the long time coming fix took care of most of my issues. Still the phone quality seemed sturdier than the MDA that replaced it. So far as a phone is basically barely gets by when it comes to reception (much like my 6515) I will keep you posted on how ticked off it gets me in the up coming weeks of use. On the plus side it seems like Windows Mobile 5.0 has resolved some of WM 2003’s inherent quirks, like needing to add a program like the Resco Explorer to enhance organization of my folders that the 2003 OS could not handle. Again, I will update this site with additional reasons not, or to spend the $270.00 dollars, plus a two year contract extension that this item cost
