Since dropping the pagepool to 6MB I've been able to run everything pretty well with the exception of the various browsers. For them, I have a utility assigned to a hard button that allows for quick enabling/disabling of manila for that extra boost of ram.
Ski-Rom is really one of the leanest roms I've ran, comparable to the old SSK Roms back a few months ago. His roms were always ideal because he himself was a Verizon customer and knew to design with our gimped memory in mind, but they now lack all the latest additions that Ski-Rom includes. Many of the others such as Energy Rom are just too hard on my precious memory.
I had the XV6800 (Titan) with the gimped ram as well back in the day and had hoped the days of CONSTANTLY being concerned about my ram were over when I upgraded to the Touch Pro. I figured going from 64MB to 192MB ought to be a nice enough improvement and that anything more would really just be overkill. HA! Nega-TIVE! Its the same frickin story all over again but like I said, I'm making it work pretty decent with Ski-Rom. As long as I run no more than 2 apps at a time and disable manila for the browsers, I'm doin fine.
Upgrading to the TP2 was at first very tempting but I think I'll wait until the first few WP7 phones drop this fall before I burn an upgrade for memory thats only comparable to the Sprint version of the TP1.

thanks for that! I think im buying lunacie's Sprint Touch Pro thats on Vzw's network so maybe i wont have to worry about it, but if i end up with a vzw touch pro ill probably shoot you a few pm's to get mine running the same way, since its working for you.
