The ‘no wifi’ thing killed it for me. Guess you have to sacrifice one for another. (Javelin is 3-band+wifi) I’ll stick with the Javelin.

Yeah. Honestly I don’t really care about the battery door. I’ll just add it to my list of complaints when trying to convince VZW to let me exchange. Hopefully I’ll get a broad at the store and then I can just bat my eyelashes and flex my biceps and get a new phone.

Yep, I forget who though. Is it HTC that’s bringing one in a couple of weeks? I haven’t really looked into android, although I probably should. I know I like winmo, especially with SPB Pocket Plus & Diary. Productivity perfection right there, except that diary’s a memory hog but oh well. Looks like the TP2 is making good use of all 5XX clock cycles.

Ok, any ideas why my phone is going SUPER slow? I don’t think i have many apps only put on FB and google earth, but it takes like 20 seconds to open a text, then like 30 seconds before it leaves the “send” screen…

There are lots of pics on the SD card, should i cut down on those?

Hold down the blackberry button until the task switcher opens, then scroll left/right to see everything you currently have open. I can’t imagine it’s much but still worth checking.

Have you done a battery pull recently? Might be a memory leak or some other geek speak that I don’t really know what it is.

I have to pull the battery almost daily it seems like because it freezes up.

Checked mem:

Free: 5,000,000  
Used: 55,000,000

That seems really low I heard under 12 is bad…

Wow, I haven’t had to do regular battery pulls since I was running 4.2 on my 8800, I think I’ll steer clear of 5.0.

There’s your problem! They changed the browser drastically on 4.5 but if you don’t use it much, you probably won’t care, try it out.

try clearing out your old texts/emails/phone call logs. also, do a memory cleanup.

also, try updating to a newer OS.

Battery pull will jump start it. You did remember to delete the vendor.xml file, right?
