when u hold the menu key it tells u how much ram or memory left
i only have the telephone program and i only have2.55mb free
why???//

You're forgetting that there are background services running, like bluetooth, phone interface, user interface etc. The phone is running an OS. Look at it like Windows. You have 256mb ram. After booting up and stuff, do you still have all that 256 ram free? Nope, cause there are services running in the background even Ctrl + Alt + Del > End Task doesn't display.

Why does this suck?
It's quite normal.

If you want a bit more ram to run memory hungry games like doom, try this.

Turn the phonr OFF
Plug in the charger and waiting for charging to start.
push and hold the menu key - Launcher will sartup.

Now look at how much RAM you have 😊

Push the menu key again and you can now see your programs and run them.

Be aware that cause your services are not running you can not take calls or use bluetooth etc.. but you should be able to run most games and applications 😊
