Slow Keyboard/Message Pop up in Texting

[WMFan85]

I'm going to test a few things before Mango because they're going to get deleted off the phone when I go to Mango anyway. I tried deleting all pictures out of my thread to my wife. It was so long that it took me about 30 minutes to scroll through it. I'm sure that's why it's slow. After deleting the pictures, it didn't seem to make any difference. I was hoping I wouldn't have to delete, but I don't think I have a choice. Is there any way to back up the texts? I'd like to save the conversations.

I'm going to be deleting the pics off my phone to test the camera speed tonight also.
