Is it true that Windows Mobile 5 will free up more memory? How much more - all of it? Will it put the OS and all added DLLs/fonts/etc on BIS or what? I currently have about 18MB memory used as storage and I'd dearly love to free up some or all of it!

Also, is it WM5 or WM2005? And when when when?! :)

yep, wm5.0 will free up ur memory, and i'm pretty sure all of it (or most of it) because they want ram saved for running programs only and it will install everything to BIS or storage card. and on microsoft's site it's wm5.0 not 2005

(and ye i'd like it to free up all my ram too, cuz i hate having stuff in ram for storage, i could only get it down to 11mb used [18 reserved for storage], which just sux)

I wonder if it's coincidence that we both got our program storage down to 18MB (11MB used)? Is that some sort of limit were the OS simply can't get significantly smaller?

oh i could get my storage smaller if i were to uninstall certain apps, but the ones i have there have to be installed in main memory
