    Confused me at first too. But I thought about it for a minute. Then what I stated made sense. Reason and logic finally won out.
    Think I'm sarcastic? Watch me pretend to care.

    haha maybe I shoulda thought about it a lil more but I just saw "Application Memory" and never thought about it again!! but it does make sense. This phone is a lot more complicated then any phone I've ever had well I had the Q but I never had to worry about some of these "maintenance battery pulls" or having to check the "Application Memory" and lil things like that (I don't check anymore) that come with having the Storm but none of those phones could do what the Storm has done for me!! I love it and it's worth having to do all this. I have a friend who's ALWAYS checking memory application and does BP's almost everyday to "prevent" it from bugging out and he still loves the phone. I only do BP's when I need to I don't check the application memory or I'd be going crazy watching it drop

    so..... wouldn't the "application memory" be really low if you download a bunch of applications? Even if you have more room to put applications that "application memory" goes down like crazy with a new application? I would imagine if you had alot of applications u would be doing a BP all the time to get some "application memory" back and it probably wouldnt go up very much. For example before I had Myspace My "application memory" was always around 44mb and after I added Myspace it wont go past 36mb after bp's? So having "enough" memory space for applications doesn't help much if you never have enough "application memory"??? thats just wat I'm thinking or am I wrong?.......... again? lol

    If the apps you download have leaks for some reason, then it'll drop.

    Perhaps I am misunderstanding what you are relating, but I don't think just downloading apps will use up Memory App. Again, I don't have a device with that distinction I am am strictly guessing. I am guessing that Memory App is designated for Apps that are running, at least that is what makes sense in my small mind.

    The download of an App would probably just use Device or Card Storage Memory depending on where you stored it.

    The installation of the App is where I am fuzzy. Installing an App will definitely take up room in the Device Storage Memory, but if it is not running it shouldn't be using resources. That is where my ignorance of what App Memory really is truly shines.

    Your MySpace example would indicate to me that it is running in the background to use up that kind of memory. I am not a MS user, but I thought I recall reading that it is a resource hog when running.

    Guess I should go read up on it now...

    Well that's what I don't understand I don't know if it's just been both the Storms I've had but when I download applications My "Application Memory" goes down too and it never gets back up to where it was before I downloaded the application and that goes with every application I've downloaded so thats why I thought applications go to "application memory" but I was wrong so now I'm trying to understand why the "application memory" never gets up to where it was before I install the application even though the application isn't running. I always close applications and am constantly checking to make sure applications aren't running when I don't want them to again I don't know if that's just been my phone's or if other ppl have the same problem?

    At the end of the OP he says "
    It seems like you can hardly even download 5 apps without constantly being worried about the avail. app memory...
    " isn't that what he's talking about too?

    Do all apps have leaks? or have I been lucky enough to get only ones with leaks? (with my luck that's prob true ) I haven't found an app that hasn't dropped my app memory

    No, not all apps have them. Some do, some don't. Why, I don't know. Say MySpace had a leak, all of the copies of the MySpace app would leak, it can't just be one copy of it, I.E. yours.
