Without m2,normal use-1 percent-1hour. I test it: 100percent means 96 hours. But with m2 i use more multimedia. Now i have 15 percent. 48h. But with 2hours video watching,75 photos outside,35 inside. Talking 30min,few sms,2hours opera mini over edge,1hour of radio listening.. It could last even 4 days. And with hardcore use 2 days. So when not needed often,pull out m2.. I don't think you need it all time.. Also,when you use phone,and multimedia more,heap memory-working memory is running low.. But when you don't have m2 in,you don't take bunch of photos,videos,listen music... And when do-remember to turn off and on. Watch for signs-flickering video,setings menu in photo mode etc. So to prevent restarting,pull out m2,because you limit your self then. You take less photo,no music,no video-no restarts. But when traveling,want to listen music-m2 in. Birthday,hollyday-need bunch of photos,m2 in. For me there is also sometime few days of less use.. M2 is not guilty directly for restarting or battery drain,but indirectly. I use then a lot of multimedia... Specs: m2 -standby 1mA, read-write 100mA or more..

Sorry but theres NO WAY in hell im going take my memory card out all the time. My K850 hasnt rebooted in over 3weeks now and heres why:
I realised that what realy makes it reboot all the time is when it CONSTANTLY reads the memory card for the wallpaper, theme and screen saver also if you use an app thats in the memory card often the phone will restart especialy when running multiple apps that are in the mem card so what ive done is ive moved the theme, screensaver and even the wallpaper (currently dont use one though) that im using to the phone memory, ive also moved the apps i use everyday to the phone mem, and still have 28mb phone memory left. My memory card only has my media, and back up of apps that are in the phone mem. Ive been using this method for the last 3weeks and not had a single reboot, im able to multitask a lot more eg. Today i had Opera Mini3, Ucweb6.3, Mxit IM and Media all running doing tasks, and although it did affect the speed quite a bit the phone was still just fine,didnt reboot since the apps i was running were all in the phone mem because those are apps i use very often,if im heavily multitasking and want to listen to music i also use KD Player with a nice Black Walkman skin, KD Player is also in my phone mem and the phone's speed is not realy affected that much when multitasking and using KD Player for music. All in all the phone works just fine with no inconvenience of having to remove mem cards.
Ps: i avoid using Flash themes and mainly use very lite themes that are mainly black or dark blue in the background and that helps with speed as well when multitasking.

Your way is good if you often need extra memory..I don't.. What I'm cosidered about is that when i bought k850 it worked perfectly fine for a month,and then restarts apears.. My is almost month now without any restarts..but,what if...!? I'm considering to put in m2 but empty. Just to send photos on it when needed.. I'm for removing m2 because i read somewhere that m2 could induce instability,restart.. There is a lot of maybe.. But,in first place i need stabile,reliable phone..then other functions(a lot of memory,camera,etc..). After service repair i noticed that there is no freze whem turning on phone and type in pin number. Before i type numers but they apear after 2-3 sec. Like some processing jamm.. Now nothing. Fast, reliable. I have 35mb free,it is enough for me,every day use..i'm just cousious..just in case!
