First of all...let me inform that I'm not in the US...I'm from India and I'm using this Sprint TP2 with a GSM service here (which is working fine by the way). My phone is not SIM unlocked (I bought it from ebay US) and surprisingly it came with the upgraded WinMo 6.5/Sense 2.5 Sprint official ROM...instead of the old 6.1 (I don't think the seller tampered with the package and he claimed not to have known about upgrading ROMs also). I was happy with it and it wasn't showing any lags as such until I set the weather for my location. After I turned the weather on and it started showing the status in the home screen under the flipping clock...the home screen became very unsmooth. Whether I had weather wallpaper or animated wallpaper on...it didn't matter. E.g. when it's raining and the wiper action begins...it's very slow...but after the wiper is gone...the FPS increases again. Likewise with the animated wallpaper. As long as I have the weather showing on home screen...the animations will be slow...but they run darn great if the weather is not showing. I don't understand where the problem is. Because in the dedicated weather tab...the weather animations are as smooth as butter. Other tabs are also smooth (photos...music etc.). Only this thing is bugging me.
FYI...my data connection is EDGE...not 3G (although I don't think it matters in this case). I've tried installing the At0mAng D3D driver and although it worked for that D3DDemo...but no dice for my problem. And I haven't installed anything at all yet...I don't even have much contacts loaded...lol. And I'm not using an SD card also.
Hope some of you experienced users can guide me. Again...I'm just a newbie. Thanks in advance.

You might consider flashing to a Sense 2.1 rom which will perform faster. WinMo 6.1 with 2.1 is my recommendation.
If your device is a Sprint TP2 then it is sim unlocked for countries outside the USA.
