I need your help guys, i have a 3650 and i have everything planned for memory usage. my layout for mem usage is:

phone mem:
contacts
messages
midis & wavs
Applications

MMC:
games
pics

as of now, i have 1200kb left in my phone and 14mb left in my MMC.

my problem is that i tried installing Tennis Maniac (400+kb) on my phone but it says "memory low, pls delete some files (or something like that)"
what seems to be the problem?? i think Tennis maniac is really 800 kb after full installation and that my phone mem is really not enough for installation, but isnt there a way to directly install the app to the MMC rather than the app passing through the phone mem first? i really dont want to screw up my layed out plan for mem usage cuz my MMC will be moving around alot of phones...

will a file manager help???? can i transfer the .sis installer file to my MMC and install it from there? pls help... if i cant install Tennis Maniac to my MMC without changing any mem usage, what more with MGS games???????

any help will greatly be appreciated....

when you install software the installation process looks like this:

1.copy data to phone
2.unpack/installl game
3.delete installation file (.sis) - if you install form PC

so in the end there's a moment when you have both the installation sis and the unpacked game on your phone.
so if you have 1200kb free and then .sis file takes 400kb and installed game takes 800kb you're running out of mem.

Simply deinstall something smaller, install tennis maniac and then install the smaller program which won't have problems during installation.

And possibly copying the .sis file to MMC card will help you, but I'm not sure.
