I'm guessing you don't want to do that if you don't have to, so try the email and text reduction first. And I'm talking about keeping just a handful ( less than 10 ) of each. Archive them if you really can't bear to lose them. Good luck.

Thank you so much!! (Sucks though) And I was skimming the other threads with all this fancy custom ROM talk and it's intimidating!! I'm a text wh0re - 3000+ texts a month. So you can only imagine. Dangit...ok. Hoping I can learn a thing or two about all this fancy talk....I DO have a passion for computers so I kinda get it...

I did have my gmail set to keep 30 days worth of emails, I've cut that down to 5 days. Same with my Yahoo. I am praying for either a patch, or an EVO Pro that will have a slide out keyboard.

Wow... there's a big lag already, 5 days worth of emails from both gmail and yahoo and that many texts??? Maybe you should try 1 day of emails and use the pc for the remainder of them and keep cleaning out your texts, you can back up nightly using MS myphone and archive the ones you really need to keep.

thanks for the thanks, glad to hear it helped. Once you get your feet wet here, read about the different ROMS, etc, you might want to try one. I am on Mr. X' VZW 'fixed' MR2 ROM and no SODS. Unfortunately it isn't for Sprint, but there are others I understand. I'm not too familiar with them as I have what I want now, but there is lots to read and learn from.

One mod I would *highly* recommend for anyone is Cookie's Home Tab, and Cookie's Home Tab Editor ( you need both really ). Read up on them first and what they can do, I'm sure you'll want it after that.

Have fun
