Re: About to give up on the HTC Touch Pro. Help?

I bought an HTC Touch Pro from Sprint this weekend and I'm about to bail. Not just on the phone, but on Sprint. My wife and I have been with Sprint for about 9 years. But this phone is too much for me to take. It's slow to navigate TouchFlo 3D. I've accidentally called people 6 times in the last 2 days because of lag in applications and consequently slip ups in touching the screen at the wrong time. The phone works well enough, but it has so many little things that feel "off" in terms of how I interact with it. It's hard to scroll the recent call history or my contacts with your finger. So I have to use the D-Pad, which is at the bottom of this phone.

The reason I got the phone was because I had a Palm Centro, that while very easy to navigate and fairly intuitive and fast, wasn't terribly comfortable. Plus no voice dialing, which got old. Anyway, I'm trying to figure out before I give up on the phone and maybe Sprint if there's perhaps something wrong with my phone? If there's some major tweak I'm missing. I've done a lot of the speed tweaks listed here and it just still isn't right. I go to task manager and the memory in use is something like 80 MB. That's a lot for a phone. At least it seems like a lot to me. Any help would be appreciated.
I feel you on this one. I've accidentally called a few people as well on my phone because of the lag. When I try to press the Talk button to get to the phone screen, it doesn't respond right away and so I will hit it again and eventually go to the phone screen but would dial because I hit the button 2x. So ill be sitting there pressing the End key numerous times to stop the call. Typing in landscape also lags. The scrolling thing bugs me as well. A small flick and it scrolls forever. But I have faith in some of the talented people here that I'm sure will find a way to make the phone as close to perfect. I've had the Mogul for over a year and was not perfect when it came out. But thanks to this community and the fixes and hacks, I became very happy with it.

So far however I haven't been able to find a fix for those issues.
