Same here. While WM 6.5 is fun, and Sense is cool, the system really starts running down on memory so fast, and performance lags behind.

Now, here's what I look for:

Windows Mobile 6.1 <-------------- Super fast
Opera Mobile 10
Office 2010
Remote Desktop
Internet Sharing
MMS
Fastest D3D Drivers <----------- Important for Opera and YouTube
YouTube <----------- This is a make it or break it for me, must have

What I don't want:

Unnecessary HTC Window Dressings
SENSE UI (unnecessary and bloaty)
Extra useless system services that run in the background

With a setup like that a 50 MB RAM usage is possible, maybe even less!

Here's the problem. I have yet to find a kitchen that has Windows Mobile 6.1 on it, because everyone likes 6.5.
