I wouldn't lose any sleep over it but it's really up to you. Your program memory is technically more important anyway. have you tried clearing ie cache and especially clearing opera cache. opera uses a tremendous amount of space. Hey Pask, I seem to be your answer man tonight!!ha ha.

you need to go into opera, then select the bottom right tab, then settings, privacy, clear cache. you should notice an increase in memory.

yes, go to the task manager icon in the upper right corner, select it and select the percentage which takes you to the screen with the memory for storage memory and program memory listed. On the tab below, there is a storage card tab and it will tell you how much internal storage memory you have used and left.

i did that and what it reads is : Total storage card memory: Not installed

any ideas?

Applications such as MemMaid and SKTools will do this and bunches more to help keep your device healthy.

down to 11 megabytes of device storage, is this still ok? I'm not seeing any effect from it??

you should be fine. the only way to free up more space it to remove bloatware which is done by flashing to the custom roms available. they have removed unnecessary memory intensive things like the touch diamond guide, ringtones,etc and at startup, you usually see 75 to 90mb free. I know you dont want to flash though but in your particular situation, you still have 11 mb and i would continue to use clear temp to clear out memory in the ie cache, opera cache, google maps, livesearch, etc.
