I am thinking about spending an extra $199 for 1GB memory card.

I am just going to use it for sending and receiving emails, as a phone, browsing sometimes, diary etc.

What difference would the memory make?

Thanks

You can store e-mail attachments to the card - but if you're downloading large attachments that require such a big card I'd say that GPRS connections are too slow.

However, storage cards are good for data files - things like mp3 songs, photo albums, data - and programs. When you install a new program you will have the option to use the main memory or the storage card. Selecting the second option will save you main memory - and this is the one used when any program is running on your Pocket PC.

As a rule I always install my programs on a storage card, and only keep some data on my Pocket PC - sometimes updating data on a storage card is too slow. Also, some programs, specially the ones that run as a today plug-in or need access to data as soon as the device is switched on may not work well when installed on a storage card.

I'd go for a 512MB card instead - I'm not even sure the h6365 supports 1GB.
