Default FAO Snazy (or other BB experts)

Since yesterday my phone has become really slow. Everytime I try and switch application the little clock comes up in the centre and it takes ages.

Any ideas what's going on?

Thx

Hold down alt, shift and delete (or pull the battery out for a minute)
It's like restarting a pc, they do start to slow down if you don't reboot them every few days.

And while you are at it, install Quickpull 2, and then schedule a daily or weekly reboot.
Can happen from time to time, but with the increases in onboard memory it tends to happen less with the newer models.

Like most things, it does not hurt to let it freshen up once in a while
Hope everything else about it is working out for you.

While you are at it, sync it up and see if there are any apps still on there that you dont use. Language packs, etc can all be deleted if not being used. There is a great write up on Blackberry about what to get rid of to help.

Make sure your media card is enabled too if it isnt when the phone memory starts getting full then you wont hear your phone ring anymore, nor will you hear the alarms

memory leak sucks, but quickpull will look after you.
Good point though, if you end up putting pics and other media on phone memory its gonna get low quick.
Usually enabled for most functions from factory though
