Solution details:
Cause of out of memory error: Too many calendar or address book entries can cause an Out of Memory error. It may also be caused by too many third-party applications on your handheld.
NOTE: For more information about resolving Out of Memory errors, refer to the following tips:
¿ Keep only essential contacts in your address book.
¿ Restrict the information transferred from your desktop to your handheld during synchronization of your address books by configuring the field mapping.
NOTE: For more information about field mapping, refer to Intellisync Online Help.
¿ Restrict the number of appointments transferred to the calendar on your handheld during synchronization by setting a date range.
NOTE: For more information about setting date ranges, refer to Intellisync Online Help.
¿ Use the Application Loader on the BlackBerry Desktop Manager to remove any unnecessary third-party software from your handheld
How to free up memory space
Here are few things you can do to free up some space on your BlackBerry:
1. Enable Content Compression: Go to Options --> Security and enabled Content Compression, this will free up some space.
2. Delete the Help Application: For more experienced users who don't use the help feature, go to Options --> Applications, select Help and delete it.
3. Delete the Unused Language Packs: Delete any unused language packs installed on your BlackBerry from the Application Options screen.
4. Delete BrickBreaker: If you've had your fill of this game, delete it, along with any other games you don't play anymore.
5. Delete Pictures: Delete any unwanted images from the Pictures Application, these are often quite large and should free up some much needed space.
6. Make Use of the Lookup Feature: Instead of keeping a large address book, just use the lookup feature if it is available from your company.
7. Set Keep Appointments to 15 Days: It's unlikely that you'll need old appointments on your BlackBerry, especially if you're on a BES. Go to Calendar Options and set Keep Appointments = 15 Days.
