From: Steven Wabik on 2 Jan 2006 21:22 i just got a ppc-6700. sprint seems to have put so much stuff on it that i do no want. is there anyway that i can get rid of the stuff so i can free up some rom? on the sprint web site it says that the device comes with 128MB but when i got it only seemed to have less then 40MB. can someone please help me with this?
From: Clinton Fitch, Clinton Fitch (Dot) Com! on 3 Jan 2006 11:10 Steven, More-than-likely Sprint has installed several applications within the ROM that are taking up the space. Keep in mind that you will have some of that ROM eaten up with the OS image itself plus any add on applications that Sprint has installed as well. In all likelyhood these are installed as part of the ROM image and can't be deleted. If you go into the Remove Programs applet under Settings, if it is listed there, you can remove it.

From: Clint on 3 Jan 2006 15:53 I'd question whether you're talking of RAM or ROM. The unit has 128MB of ROM (I think), but only 64MB of RAM. Since I don't have one of those units, I can't tell which one you're looking at, or how you can even tell which is which. -- Clint "Steven Wabik" <Stevenw45(a)comcast.net> wrote in message news:OjuJNyAEGHA.2956(a)TK2MSFTNGP14.phx.gbl... >i just got a ppc-6700. > sprint seems to have put so much stuff on it that i do no want. is there > anyway that i can get rid of the stuff so i can free up some rom? on the > sprint web site it says that the device comes with 128MB but when i got it > only seemed to have less then 40MB. can someone please help me with this? >
From: Clint on 3 Jan 2006 17:28 Check out this forum thread for what I mean: http://www.pocketpcmag.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=18325 The third posting in the thread says it comes with 64MB of RAM, but only 43 is available. The 128MB is ROM, which is where the OS and some other applications sit. On my Dell X50v, I have the same setup, but the 128MB of ROM isn't really read-only. Whatever's left over from the OS is available to install applications (and even data), and is referred to as "Built-In Storage". I'm not sure if these same terms are relevant in a Windows 5 environment, or if I'm just confusing the issue. From my brief foray into WM5, it seemed that the Built In Storage was no longer available, but installing applications into the Main Memory didn't eat up RAM, it went into the ROM. -- Clint "Clint" <nobody(a)nowhere.non> wrote in message news:uBge%23eKEGHA.2320(a)TK2MSFTNGP11.phx.gbl... > I'd question whether you're talking of RAM or ROM.

Those things all come with the OS. 2) It takes Mini SD cards, buy a 256/512/1gb one. 3) See the first paragraph on page 64 of your manual for the answer to the question you asked. Jeff
