Checking free space on your handheld device
The amount of ACT! contacts, calendar activities, and notes/history items that can be synchronized to your handheld device by Handheld Contact varies depending on the handheld device's available memory.
The Sync Data Info tool in the Handheld Contact computer console estimates how much space will be required on your handheld device depending on your sync settings. Using the Sync Data Info tool and following these instructions, you can determine if your handheld device has enough free memory to accomodate the data that you would like to synchronize.
Determining free memory on BlackBerry Smartphones
- Access the BlackBerry home screen.
- Open BlackBerry Options:
- On most devices, access it from the BlackBerry home screen by clicking Options.
- Occasionally on 7100 and 8100 series devices, access it from the BlackBerry home screen by clicking Settings and then Options.
- Click Status.
- Obtain your BlackBerry Smartphone's free memory by reading the FILE FREE number.
- Click the Start button.
- Select Settings.
- Click the System tab at the bottom.
- Click the Memory icon.
- Obtain your Pocket PC or Treo Smartphone device's free memory by reading the Free Space field in the Storage column.
A "ROUGH" estimate is that you can store approximately 400-700 contacts for every 1,000,000 bytes (977 kb), depending heavily on amount of Notes/History per Contact.
