It's exchange 2007. Yes, I am an admin. Although I try not to touch it too much. It's not my area of expertise. I can fumble around most things, but I leave the nitty gritty to a good friend who is certified in everything under the sun.
Speaking of carrier provision, I'm not sure if this was the case before provisioning, but it doesn't set up the network credentials right (it leaves them blank actually), so I had to go in and manually enter the login and password for vzw3g.net.
Unless provisioning does something besides MMS, I likely don't need it either. I almost never do MMS anyway.
I don't think this is a 235XX issue, as the last Calkulin Build you did was a 235XX and it ran great.
I will re-flash in a bit and NOT do carrier provisioning and see if that changes anything.
What about OTA programming, I typically do the *228 thing with VZW to make sure I have the latest PRL, etc. Any reason not to do that?
To give you an idea of what kind of problem this is: I can be at the home screen with 75M free. I press the green send button to bring up my dialer, and I can count 6 seconds out before it displays the dialer. Once the dialer is up, I can make a call OK.
Swiping between MS screens and pulling up the start menu, etc can vary anywhere from quickly to a second or more between action/response.
All the while, active sync is pretty much locked up and not delivering e-mail.
