What an outstanding job u have done on this one my memory, which has always been a HUGE problem for me has ranged from 42.9 on start up (with a TON of apps loaded) to what seems to be my bottom at 27.1. In the past I have bottomed out at 3 pm at about 6mbs. radio... never better... full bars and constant 1XEV. Battery according to meterberry drops at 7%/ hr, but I use this phone ALL DAY LONG FOR EVERYTHING I DO. i do use rhapsody so I had to refresh my license for my songs but that is the only negative I have and even that is minor. I would HIGHLY recommend this hybrid. Thank you bbc for all of your time and effort that you put into this device and for people you dont even know. You have done an outstanding job this time.

Thank you nikki, I appreciate the compliment. I am glad it is working well for you.

Nikki what version of V5 did you download the one with the SFI from 141 or 132?

.132... I was a bigger fan of .132 than I was of .141... so I went with that. I know u didnt have the best experience with that os JL but in my experience that has been the best release thus far and with bbc's hybrid... UNBELIEVEABLE. I was actually looking to jump ship, but u guys have been so supportive and informative that I thought I would ride the storm out(cheeeezzzzzyyyy) glad I put my swimmies on.

Still noticing, though not as much, as the storm sits idol... memory drops. sometimes too far gone for recovery. Is that a way to keep us addicted to the bb?

Excellent Nikki, very happy to hear that this hybrid benefitted your phone so much. Let us know how your memory looks after tomorrow.

It sure is. When the phone sits idle it eats memory. A good trick to free up memory is use your browser for a few minutes. You will be surprised by how much that frees up available device memory.

It all depends on what you have loaded, some apps sit idle in the background causing a leak. Some of these culprits are Viigo, Quick Launch, MeterBerry and any weather app that might be out there.
