Motorola RAZR V3
Memory question
Hey all,
I got a Razr for christmas and I'm really excited as I've never had a nice celluar before. Anyways, I was particularly interested in the picture id for numbers. After toying and not being able to figure it out - I read the manual and found out only numbers stored on the onboard memory could have a picture attached and the same for categories (which is dumb).
My question is - how much onboard phone memory is there and how much SIM memory is there?
What should I be storing on which?
I'm a bit lost - so any help would be great!

The SIM card can store 250 names with one number attached if you are using a 64k SIM, if you have a 3G SIM it can store 250 names with up to 3 numbers and one e-mail address. The device itself has 5MB of internal memory and can hold 1000 names in its internal address book.

Thanks for the speedy response!
So is the SIM mainly for games or what?
And from what I gathered from your post, there is 4x more internal storage right? So I'm not going to be doing anything wrong by saving numbers to the internal memory?

My view of the SIM is, it is there for the carrier's ease when you buy a new phone, not yours. Others may have a different POV.
The one sortcoming with storing to the phone's memory is that you have no backup (no differnt than things stored on your computer's hard drive). Backing your numbers up to your PC using Mobile Phone Tools or Handset Manager eliminates that shortcoming.
HTH!

Actually the SIM card stores what is described as intelligent roaming information. It receives updates that tell it which towers are home and which to select. In the case of the new Cingular, the "smartchip" knows to select both Cingular and newly merged AT&T towers in certain markets. The only user accesible memory is for contact storage.
