I have been demo-ing a 4135, however it gets bogged down when I am tring to access larger databases and have more than one program running at the same time. Will the larger internal memory make a difference?

Thanks for your help.

From my limited experience....

It's not uncommon for me to run Pharos Ostia with several maps connected via bluetooth to GPS, and have MSReader play Audible files. I have not experienced any hanging with this scenario. There is a 1-2 second initial loading time for the maps. After that it just hums along. It appears if programs are installed to main memory and their data files are on storage media (ex. Pharos Ostia, main memory; maps SD card) hanging seems to be a rarity. That is where the internal memory is of benefit in my opinion. Frequently, more programs are open than on previous PDA's, but Windows Mobile 2003 was not on them. So, of course a few more opinions would not hurt :wink:
