Shared memory
The following features in your phone use shared memory: Phone book,
text and multimedia messages, images and ringing tones in gallery,
calendar and to-do notes, Wallet notes, and Java
applications. Using any of these features leaves less memory for other
features. This is especially true with heavy use of any of the features. For
example, saving many images may take all of the shared memory and your
phone may display that the memory is full. In this case, delete some of the
information or entries reserving the shared memory.
The following functions share dynamic memory that is dependent on the
data quantity per item and shared memory available at a time in the
Nokia 7250i.
• Phone book (up to 500 entries)
• Phone book images (up to 100 average size 2 kB images)
