The Touch Pro will probably never be as fast as Palms and or similarly designed devices. That said, Palms will probably never be as powerful or customizable as a WM phone either. it's a trade off that you have to decide when going into these things.
WM can be customized to make many things easier and it can be made to be faster but in reality it just won't be what you are expecting. If you expected to come from a Palm into a WM phone and it to be just like your Palm, then you should probably just send it back for a Palm. I am curious as to why you decided to change to a WB phone in the first place?
In no way is this ment to be disrespectful. I totally hear your points and can even relate to some degree but the change for me was made easier knowing already what the major differences between these phones are.
This is in some ways like trying to relate a Diesel truck to a VW bug
They both allow you to get from point A to point B but one will pull stumps while doing it
