Making room on your smartphone
If you store a large number of records, or install many third-party applications, the
internal memory on your smartphone may fill up. Here are some common ways to
clear space on your smartphone:
• VersaMail: Emails that have large attachments can quickly consume memory on
your smartphone. Delete emails with large attachments. If you have hundreds of
messages with or without attachments, you may wish to delete older messages to
make room (see “Deleting selected messages from the Inbox” on page 79).
• Camera: Large size images take up a lot of memory. Move images to an expansion
card or delete images from your smartphone (see “Viewing photos and videos on
your computer” on page 138).
• Messaging: Multimedia content can also consume excessive memory. Move
multimedia content to an expansion card, or delete large files from your
smartphone (see “Managing your messages” on page 111).
• Internet: If you set a large Web browser cache, you may want to use the Web
browser’s advanced Memory Management settings to clear all recent pages (see
“Customizing your Web browser settings” on page 121).
• Third-party applications: You can delete infrequently used applications or move
them to an expansion card (see “Copying applications to an expansion card” on
page 181).
Also, remember that your smartphone includes an expansion card slot, and that you
can store applications and information on expansion cards. However, you still need
free memory on the smartphone itself to run applications from an expansion card.
