Help Low System Memory Help

[GreatGoo]

I have had the phone for 48 hours and right off the bat I was experiencing issues with my exchange email and calender. I kept getting warnings that they couldn't sync. After a little experimenting I'm just using my exchange email and everything is working fine. However, when I try to sync my calender now it says the system is low on memory. Currently I have nothing synced to my calender.

I currently have 31 apps that are 29 MB in size. All saved on phone. I didn't install my SD till after I downloaded all my apps.

76% of my phone memory is in use at all times. Does that seem a high?

My HTC sync feeds currently uses 54MB of memory. My actual mail uses 33MB.

MY DINC Memory:
Total - 404MB
Active - 166MB
Inactive - 176MB
Available - 96MB

I'm guessing I have so much memory in use right now that I can't add my calender and sync it because of its size.

Any suggestions or recommendations?

Hold on a second. How does my phone only have a total of 404MB? The phone should have 8GB of memory correct?

Is there a difference between memory and storage? Because I have 98% available storage.

You've answered your own question. Storage and memory are not synonymous.
