The answer there is to run top while using the phone... you'll see that it's running at pretty much at the limits of the 128MB built in.

I always thought that only "free" would report the correct memory numbers.
Right now, "top" reports this on my FR:

Mem:    123856k total,   118412k used,     5444k free,      136k buffers

Compare that to the output of "free":

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/media/card# free
             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:        123856     118272       5584          0        136      75712
-/+ buffers/cache:      42424      81432
Swap:        65528         28      65500

The line "Mem" shows memory used including caches that will be overwritten whenever a program requires more memory. The line "-/+ buffers/cache" supposedly shows the real memory usage, currently about 42M. If that were to reach 128M, we would be in real trouble.
I'm going to turn the swap off again...
