Just got mine two days ago and its awesome. Who knows what good apps or programs are out for it? I’m still getting use to it so any hints or tips would be appreciated. ---

Post what you like and don’t like after a few days. Touch Pro is one of my choices for a company phone and I really like everything it has on paper. ---

The lag could be from the phone multi-tasking. Remember, depending on your settings WM phones will keep applications open untill you kill them. Cool apps: Free Downloads: Yahoo Go Google Maps DivX - for playing movies All other apps can be d/l’d through a bit torrent. Get yourself a 4GB+ memory card and get some movies to watch on Divx mobile. There is an HTC forum that is a good resource…can’t remember the name right now. Also, the navigation is worth the $10. ---

Yeah, on my WM treo, I have the “Space Reclaimer” software that dumps IE cache and temp files and shuts off all applications. Very useful in keeping junk off the phone and making sure you only run one program at a time. When I forget to run it for whatever reason, the phone boggs down big time. ---

[www.ppcgeeks.com](http://www.ppcgeeks.com) [http://www.xda-developers.com/](http://www.xda-developers.com/) I’ve had my TP since opening weekend. Love it. Also had it’s predecessor the 6800 and a Treo 700wx. All windows mobile. The TP fixes every little complaint I’ve had about any other windows mobile phone. It’s great in stock trim, but the things that you can do with it once you check out the two sites listed above will take it to an entirely new level. Have fun, and kiss your free time goodbye once you get into it. ---

how do people get so into cell phones? The most I ever did to a phone was on my treo and all I did was install Mike Tyson’s Punchout and a NES emulator. ---

Mine is still in fairly good shape. I don’t know how it is with Verizon, but with sprint if you break the screen they have to give you a new one for free, so whenever mine got bad I’d just backup everything onto my PC, smash it with a hammer and go get a brand new one. ---

the stock ROM lags real bad. Get an OS from XDA, it runs MUCH faster. ---
