I have to say that the BlackBerry OS has less lag than the other smartphone OS’s but in some regards it is underpowered. It seems that RIM has taken this to heart and released a Knowledgebase article on how to optimize your BlackBerry so that it performs at the best of its capablity. Check out RIM’s advice on how to keep your flash memory available and how to maximize your battery life. The most interesting part of the Very long FAQ is the following table listing how much space each item on your BlackBerry takes. :

Optional application	Approximate space required*	Approximate number of equivalent messages*
BlackBerry Attachment Service	120 KB	120 messages
Help	65 KB per installed language	65 messages per installed language
Instant Messenger applications	350-400 KB per application	350-400 KB per application
Language Support	100-120 KB + per language	100-120 KB + per language
BlackBerryÂ® Maps	500-1000 KB	350 messages
MemoPad	10 KB	10 messages
Password Keeper	25 KB	25 messages
Tasks	25 KB	25 messages
