Store Apps on phone or on memory card?

[Guest machiavell1]

Should I store my new apps on the phone's memory or on the mini-SD?

I know the more I store on the phone, the more chance there is of memory shortage and therefore lag/crashing, but are there certain apps (ie calendar/homescreens/functionality apps) that HAVE to be on the phone or should be on the phone for optimum performance?

Basically, I want to keep the phone running at optimum lag free speed and crashing as little as possible, and would appreciate any tips or advice on how to achieve this (both in respect of app storage, but also general tips).

Additionally - do the number of contacts you store and the calendar information bog down the phone? and is there a way to limit this also?

Thanks!!

i allways save to the memory card & there has only beena few programs that only seem to run from the phone so its best just to suck it & see.

and have you found any decrease in phone functionality/speed over time?

Ideally you should install all applications etc on to the storage card, this will help to keep the phone's memory free for your emails, homescreens and ringtones etc.

There are only a few apps that must be installed on the phone's memory.

As a rule I install everything on my miniSD, I haven't come across many things that have to be installed on the phone, but I'm sure if you do find anything it will tell you in the readme. Either that or it just won't work, then you can come on here, search, and find out that it has to be installed on the phone!

Like I said, I have probably 40 - 50 apps / games installed on my storage card, but I put homescreens on the phone itself.

Is it possible to save Contacts and Email to the mini-SD storage card? If so, how do you configure this?

Thanks.

Hm- yes I was wondering that too. I took a look through the menus under text messaging and e-mails, and didn't see an option to store that on the storage card.

Maybe there is a trick, or reg hack, or 3rd party software?
