id think that wm5 wouldnt have memory leaks since we never experienced it on other PDAs.... im wondering if its worth reverting back to wm5 for now to at least solve that which is my main gripe with the 6800.

it cant hurt i guess, mostly any program still runs in wm5 anyways, all you loose is html email (if u use exchange 2007 which mail2web doesnt even support yet anyways) really and some corporate security stuff i never use. I dont see a downside unless someone can point one out...

I agree, anyone know where I can download the WM5 rom?

Once everything is closed watch your ram go down to 15-17mb. I dont know how thats not some kinda leak its going somewhere obviously didnt just disappear- its not being released by the OS (SEE BELOW). By definition it s a leak and your wrong.

"Memory leak
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In computer science, a memory leak is a particular kind of unintentional memory consumption by a computer program where the program fails to release memory when no longer needed. This condition is normally the result of a bug in a program that prevents it from freeing up memory that it no longer needs."

Good post. That should be clear enough for anyone to understand.

thanks, but in my line of work ive already become familiar with the definition of a memory leak. stay on topic.

youre simply changing the topic. whether there is a memory leak or not doesnt even matter. what you want 'fixed' is not going to be fixed. ever. let the topic go. its how wm6 is designed and its working as designed. its not going to change. get over it.

Second, their method of saying its slower is very subjective and wrong IMO. Measuring screen rotation time isnt a way to say its "slower" nor is page loading considering your comparing EVDO with HSDPA, two totally different networks.

If you search youtube theres a video of the screen rotations of a TYTN (like ours) vs the Tilt and theyre within half a second of eachother. i held my mogul next to the video and the screen rotates just as fast as the Tilt.

I played with a tilt and its actually faster normal operation than the mogul. it has an equal 400mhz processor but 128 (double) the ram. In other words dont trust everything you see online, a lot of those "tech" websites know less than us on these phones.

Note to you: The Mogul (aka 6800) is called the "Titan" not the "TYTN", Your confusing two very different devices.
