Im trying to figure out why WM2003 is taking up over 30MB? 20+MB is just
7-2784KB MsgQueuMapFileMicrosoft (each with a different SMS protocol) files.
And duplicated again at 284KB. Is this part of the notification issue? I
have Pocket Plus and the Scarybear ClearNotify both installed.

You aren't going to be able to scale down how big WM2003 is in your ROM
because WM is not like XP in the sense that you can add/remove components.
It comes as it comes. It shouldn't be taking up any RAM space, except for
some specific reasons. You can check how much RAM is available in
System->Memory.

Try the following

PIE, clear cache

Look for large sound recorder files

start/system/memory/find large files

large avantgo files?

How many new apps installed in main memory?

soft reset and check memory before starting any apps

Thanks Bev. I un-installed a few memory hogs and relocated em to the iPAQ
file store. I never used my file store on my h5555 much so never paid it
much attention. This h6315 is now a lean mean roadwarrior machine :)
