First off, I consider myself a Windows Mobile power user and am writing this only after at least a year off frustration.

I currently have two Pocket PC phones. I use a PPC-6700 for work and a Treo 700wx(which I can't even explain how much faster it runs) for personal. I have used the original rom, a few custom roms and even one of my own. I have also has 3 different 6700s over the last year. Every one has same limitations.

A hard reset will be done and the devce works great for a day or so. Then it goes to junk. Things such as when writing messages there is major key typing lag. Menus don't open up right away. when turning on the screen does not appear right away..it sometimes flashes white first. This all happens even if no programs are installed. I have used all tweaks such as cache sizes, etc. I have also used sktools extensively to clean up system. No matter what it gets slower as time goes on. More recently my employer has begun to use the new security features on my phone when connected to their exchange server. Such as having to enter a password when device is turned on. However, I have not noticed any difference with or without it.

Like I said I have used more than one 6700 as they have been swapped out for various reasons. Each one I have experienced same issue. I also have used the same phone on the verizon network and a local network called cellcom. The phone is very noticably faster on the cellcom model. Is this possibly an issue with the software on the rom that sprint uses(yes, I have also played with removing unneeded cabs in rom)? Anyone else frustrated with the sluggishness of this phone? I know it can run great, because after a hard reset it does. what causes it to go to all crap?

I may do some benchmarking from each provider..

Also, forgive me for any typos..typing this on the 6700...
