• SHARED MEMORY
The following features in this phone may share memory: contacts, text
and multimedia messages, images and ringing tones in gallery, calendar,
to-do notes, and Java games and applications. Using any such features
may reduce the memory available for any features sharing memory. This
is especially true with heavy use of any of the features (although some of
the features may have a certain amount of memory specially allotted to
them in addition to the amount of memory shared with other features).
For example, saving many images, bookmarks, Java apps, or other features
sharing memory may take all of the shared memory and your phone may
display a message that the memory is full. In this case, delete some of the
information or entries stored in the shared memory features before
continuing.
