why does my phone get slower

[PDAPhoneJunkie]

I backup what I need then hard reset and restart about every 3 months. Needed very much on any Windows machine like weedahoe said..

Unless you're running an optimized custom ROM a hard reset and restore are a part of life every couple of months. Even with a tweaked custom ROM it's still a good idea to "refresh" it once in a while to get optimum performance. WinMob is as I have always maintained, "The retarded step-child of Windows" and it has yet to prove me wrong. Especially with the limited memory on the Mogul. Errors will pile up despite mem management and the only fix is to reset, be it soft reset for a temporary fix or hard reset. My Touch is getting overdue for a hard reset and reinstall right now, and I notice the sluggishness, lags, and beginnings of lock-ups that have built up over the last 300 soft resets or so.

Been about ten months since my last hard reset so I'm going to backup and do it today.

I don't think so. I have a ton of SMS and a ton of e-mail...

I think cleaning SMS helps.

I think it would also but I never let mine get that backed up anyway.
