No Free Memory on XDA Orbit

Usually have around 20MB free program memory, but sometiems it drops to 2MB and I have no programs running, just activesync for the push email, I close that and still on 2MB free, and the phone gets really slow with that much memory free. When I soft reset all is working fine, and have 20MB free program memory, happened twice now in the last month or two, had the phone for 1 year and push email working since november, what could the problem be?, some hidden background process?, virus?, have installed one or two not so common programs but then uninstalled them, I think I have already done a hard reset... any ideas?, any way to show every program or process/hidden that is running...

It really annoys me how they make a phone like this with only 45MB of Program memory, hence me thinking of upgrading to an Orbit 2, 64MB or Ram is just not enough... I don't do anything besides checking email/text, active sync, and rarely use the cam, and sometimes browse the internet. I have GPS and tom tom, but don't use it, only plugins I have installed is the SPB Travler and SPB GPRS Monitor...

Re: No Free Memory on XDA Orbit

Haven't used WM for a couple of years now but in Pre WM6 versions you used to be able to specify how much memory was used for Programs Vs Storage...Can you not do this anymore??
