Removable memory
Removable memory is data storage that is not built into your device, such as a SmartChip or a memory card. A SmartChip stores
different information, such as information about the network operator and Address Book. A memory card serves as external
storage media for software applications, pictures, music, Address Book, text, or any other form of electronic data. High-capacity
memory cards are available.
Tip: Save information to your SmartChip to fully utilize the available memory of your device.
Device memory
Memory that is built into your device is a dynamic memory pool shared by many applications. The amount of internal memory
available varies but cannot be increased past the maximum factory setting. Data stored on the device, such as software
applications, pictures, and music, consume on-device memory.
