They can unlock the GPS.

The phone can be very usable and returnable for a replacement if it breaks.

Well, for me it is not carrier loyalty. Trust me, I would tell VZW to stick this phone and their prices in their a$$ with no grease. I hate them and have had it up to here with their shenanigans. But, it is the ONLY choice I have here. AT&T service is terrible, I don't even have a Sprint store under 60 miles from here, and forget US Cellular, they suck worse than AT&T....so I am stuck with VZW. It is the only carrier that works in this rural area I am in.
And YES I totally agree those jacka$$es gimped the TP! I knew they would and hell just to make it worse, they charge 50 bux more for the gimped device. I am not wining at all, I am just trying to figure it out...and here is my reason:::::
First, I have seen posts from VZW users that their device is fine. Me and verizontouch24 and a few others are seeing that their devices are laggy beyond using. So I am here just to see if I could get some help because lord knows Verizon will not help you at all. I am contemplating returning my Touch Pro, but I have been waiting FOREVER for this phone to come out and I hate to do something like that. My only other choice is to go backward to a xv6800 (mogul) or go with the Omnia...which has no keyboard.
So, if you Sprint users would please quit jumping me for asking simple questions, I would appreciate it. I am not here to whine about my device, I am here to get help. YES I know that the Sprint version runs a hell of alot better than the garbage version from Verizon, but there is nothing I can do about it other than return it...but I like it so much I don't want to do that.
Now that I have said all that, I do have one question/comment. Here it is:

First, I posted in the other VZW Touch Pro asking about build date and rom date of other VZW users. Of course, I got slammed and it never got answered. (oh god here we go again, another vzw user complaining)....

The other item I wanted to ask is do you think it is ram or something else? Here is my reasoning:
I have a friend that has the xv6800 mogul. That poor thing just has like 40mb on it for programs, and running stuff has only 8 or 10mb free...YET, the damn thing is blazingly fast.
My TP has 113mb for programs, 85mb in use and around 30mb free. With nothing running but TF3D.
So if a xv6800 is so dang snappy and tight, and only has 8-10mb free with 40mb to start out with, why is this thing lagging behind 5-7 seconds for everything? I mean...it is not just slow, it is terrrrrrrribly slow. Tried 3x hard resets and all.....and I dont think it could be a memory issue being that I have 30mb free....compared to the mogul with 8mb free and it rocks.....
You see my point? So that is what I am asking. Any thoughts here? Do you think that maybe its just a sucky rom from VZW or do you really think that the lower spec is what the issue is? Just trying to find out to see if I should return it or not.

So VZW users, what is your build date and rom date?
Mine are:
Build date stamped below battery: 10/19/08.
Rom 10/01/08
Rom version 1.03.605.4

Thank you

Sorry to do this right after that long post viper, but a thread made just to flame other users just won't stay open. I hope you get your answers though, perhaps ask in a different thread
