Symbian tells you before you slowdown the the phone using ram hogging apps or just forgetting to close apps.

Simple to fix. close app that is hogging resources. Usually web browsers and system affecting apps are the ram hogs. The out of memory experience varies from user to user and app to app. Please dont make it seem like an OS issue and have him assume he will be getting out of memory errors left and right.

Ive had 3 out of memory errors since Dec2010 and it was because of poor app management. I knew I was going to run out of ram. I just closed the offending app, Opera Mobile at the time, and kept playing Need for speed shift.
Yeah, I'm doing something wrong. It ain't the phone or the OS. Don't even know why they have an out of memory message in the OS.

Here's the drill
  • Get SMS notification
  • Tap on icon to open
  • Get out of memory, close some applications message
  • Option|Open applications - close everything in sight, usually F-Secure and the menu are the only things open
  • Tap on icon to open SMS
  • Get out of memory message
  • Shut down phone and re-start it
  • Tap on icon and actually get to read the SMS.
It is obviously me.
