LAG! Unresponsive

I am using yahoo, gmail, and my co,'s address....all set up through the WinMo setup wizard. I am on a 10 minute send/receive schedule, and 7 days worth of emails only from my inbox. Never more than 50-100 emails on my phone. I delete most texts, especially picture texts.


What is the most powerful/capable touchscreen business focused phone out there?

probably the htc hd2 for winmo. There is a big difference. When I first set up my email for yahoo, I had about 150 emails to download, full message with attachments and it took about 2minutes.
The problem I think you are having is that you have it set to check your emails every 10 minutes. If you have 3 emails to check, and each one takes 1-2minutes to update, your phone is always processing, so when you go to do something else, it has to change gears.

But your best bet for business might be a no nonsense blackberry.

Until RIM comes out with a good touch screen phone, thats fast, I will stick with WinMo, or Android.

Should add that i need the phone to be on Sprint

Don't give up, the TP2 is a great phone!

Bostonbull, you mentioned calling and adding contacts. Try installing this program and let me know what you think. *Much* faster than Manila dialer/contact manager.

IconSoft PhoneEx http://www.iconsoft.com/?language=en...e094db10fc83b1

Also, if you must have Sense, the manila 2.5 that comes on the Sprint 6.5 Rom is much slower than 2.1.

Let me know!

Actually I don't think this is the case. Winmo 6.5 getting bogged down is the issue. I was using Mighty for a long time and it always went the same way. First week or so after flash the phone was great, then slowly it would become increasingly slower. I ended up getting extremely annoyed so I switched over to this rom http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=105295, which uses winmo6.1 with Sense instead of 6.5. The difference is incredible. I suppose you give up a few newer features here and there but for reliability and speed theres nothing close. I've been using the 6.1 build for a couple months now and it's still just as fast as when I flashed it. Give it a shot, I think it will fix a lot of your problems.

that looks like a good ROM but the amount of free RAM is the same as the current sprint stock 6.5 and i also believe that 6.1 is now a victim of that 2016 bug, i dont think a patch was ever released for the TP2, the 6.5 was released instead.

Concur on the kill manilla and just run SPB Mobile Shell ... I've been running Formula's ROM for awhile, much more responsive

I also like emptying the email wastebaskets periodically ... seems to help ... any way to automate this?
