Does too many apps slows down your phone?

naa its completely ok..dont worry..just make sure the applications you're installng are virus free...and if it is then its ok and you wont have any problems of your phone beng slow...but try your maximum to not completely fill the memory card

applications generally slow down the mobile
they utilise the ram of phone thus leading to reduce the speed of phone

I have a Nokia 5800 and it has a lot applications installed in it but so far it did not slow my phone down. I guess it depends on what phone you use because my friend used to have a Nokia N73 and even if she has 2GB memory card, applications slow down her phone. I think it is still best to avoid getting close to the memory limit of your phone to avoid slowing it down.

don't know about others..but i have too many applications and games in my nokia cell phones..and surely there is small effect on speed because of too much installation... so its effect but not much...but if your phone got infected by virus due to some infected application...then surely you will feel lots of effect on speed...so just beware from virus..

Well, from my experience it's like this. Too many applications installed would slow your phone a bit, but if your memory card is 1gb and the only remaining space capacity is about 200mb and below, that's the time where your phone will start to slow, especially if the remaining would be 100 or below that will pissed you off. What kind of phone are you using? If your phone can handle about 2gb you should might as well buy this, 1gb is still small for me.

How many applications you have on a device does not matter. Just so were all on the same track I will be referencing to Windows Mobile Devices. You could fill your 1 GB SD card full of applications and it will not slow down your device. What slows your device is applications that run in the background. These sorts of applications use memory and CPU power which in turn slows down your device.

Indeed, just like installing more softwares slow downs the PC, the phone becomes slow too when you install too many applications. It's just as mentioned before, applications need RAM to run, and no matter how big your memory card/stick is, it does not contribute to the RAM size. hence the memory needed to run the applications is still the same. Too many applications contribute to the defragmentation and corruption of the phone's registry file too.
