Definitely disagree with you. First of all you have a few thousand text messages....that's going to slow down anything that uses threaded text msgs.

I recently cleaned out about...18,000 text from my phone. And everything is running incredibly smooth.

Vito is very nicely executed. Very fast, no keyboard lag, different skins. I haven't had a problem with it.
