Freeing memory by using storage card

I think the problem is that extra RAM means extra drain on the battery. And
in versions of the OS prior to WM5, there was a requirement for so many
hours of RAM backup before all your data would be lost. With the move to
persistant storage, that requirement went away. So actually, what you'll
need is more ROM, not RAM. And some manufacturer's are including up to
256MB of ROM, like on the Dell Axim X51v.

Personally, I find a number of the MS limitations/assumptions about where
files are going to be located frustrating. Things like applications that
can only see files one level deep in the expected directory structure, etc.
As far as your issue goes, there are a number of 3rd party sync products,
and most PDA software has evaluation versions. Go to www.handango.com, and
look in the Utilities->Synchronization software.

how many contacts and pim info do you have on the device?

I can't believe that they are the consumers of all of your main
memory... more info please.
