Perhaps you are right. I don't know. My 700wx was molasses slow loading about anything. To me it seems the touch is 2-3x faster at all tasks. My WX had a lag loading pretty much everything, yet I have my touch pimped out and it loads everything very quicky with the exception of flexmail. And task switching is instantaneous on the Touch as compared to the treo. It could have been mobile shell causing the issue, but I had a friend who traded several wx's in due to the lagginess, then settled on a 755P whose speed satisfied him, and recently switched to a Touch and loves it. So my observations have been different.
My main issues with the touch are the sd card corruption problem and the video problem. I get ticked at how much better sling looks on the 755p as opposed to the 6800 & 6900(although for the record they dont look bad, just not as smooth). I would say it even looked better on the wx screen, but you'd know I was lying because that was the ultimate downfall of the wx for me. the 240x240 screen
edit: went out to dinner tonite and ran some speed races. I found that if there were no apps loaded the 700wx was a hair quicker about 70% of the time. the big issue came if there were 3 to 4 apps loaded. Thats when the 700wx lag became apparant and the Touch wins, presumably due to more memory. So therefore I must redact my earlier comments about the touch being faster except when running alot of apps. I suppose I must now qualify that the Touch is the most consistantly fast regardless of # of apps running etc.
