Sadly TRUE

Some web sites are not mobile (phone) friendly and memory will indeed run out. This phone starts with 256MB RAM ( http://www.gsmarena.com/blackberry_curve_3g_9300-3422.php ) and then has much less than that free as apps and such eat that up.

Your average PC has 4 to many times that but here's what I'm seeing. Folk want what they get on the PC on the phone. This means the web site has to test with phones.

Answer to your question

This happens because the html, css or the javascript files that collectively make a webpage needs to be loaded onto the phone memory for processing and getting displayed. When the amount of data on these files is too large, then browser stops processing these pages and will instead closes down the application to free up some memory. By reducing the size of the page we can avoid these issues. But, this is somethng which we cant do on our side. We can just hope that the sites or web pages which we surf are moble friendly.

Sorry for posting in wrong category. I request moderator to move this topic on BB-Forum.

Okay It can't load large data while browsing but what about its network when enable 3g mode. It lost network coverage in every 15-20 minutes. And i have seen this problem in other BB models also. Is there any way to solve this issue?

Moving this thread to another CNET forum isn't required. But network issues is something you chat with your carrier.

-> However there is something in the news that is disturbing. Here's a google on it.

Since this product, use and our own government has been secretive about this, it's one of those things that makes a mess of what could be a nice thing.
