I got the wife and kid the Instinct, which is much easier to use and a TON more responsive. The screen on the instinct is more responsive, and there are no lags like I get with the Pro.

However, I got the WinMo phone for its adaptability, not ease of use. I'm getting the hang of it; just got it Monday night.

I'd like to try increasing glyphcache with a registry tool to see if I can stop the pauses in the OS. Might a WinMo noob find information about how to do so by using the search function of this board?
For the Glyphcache update, just copy the attached file to your phone and install it by tapping on it in File Explorer. (Step by step provided below if you need them)

As for the web pages, that's by design of Opera Mobile... it "zooms out" so that you can use your fingers to quickly tap-zoom in on the part of the page you actually care about. It just takes some getting used to it.

How to Install:
--------------

1. Save the file somewhere convenient, like your Desktop or My Documents.
2. Connect your phone to your computer using your USB cable.
3. When ActiveSync pops up, let it do its thing, and then click the "Explore" button on the toolbar.
4. Copy the file (drag and drop usually works best) to the phone. That said, I strongly recommend putting it on your storage card.
5. Disconnect the phone from the computer.
6. On the phone, go to Start > Programs > File Explorer.
7. Find the file on your storage card (or My Documents or wherever you put it).
8. Tap on the file to open the zip file... then tap on the cab inside... when prompted, tap Install. It will require you to do a soft reset when it finishes.
