TYpically I go by the rule of thumb of anything that is making a considerable system change vs. an application, I put in Device Memory.

is there any significant performance difference in device vs. storage?

Not that I have been able to tell. You would think so, though.

I do what I do mostly for stability reasons though.

Good rule of thumb to go by. Thanks for the help.

Want your phone picture to show up under your sync profile in Windows Mobile Device Center?

Simply navigate C:\Users\"username"\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Acti veSync\Profiles\"profile number"

Replace the generic sync icon with one of your Omnia. Then reconnect the device.

Can you post the file your using for Omnia picture? I liked that a picture of my XV6900 showed up when syncing and was happy when I saw this can be done for the Omnia.

I agree with and usually follow this rule as well, but I have found one of the strong qualities of the Omnia is that with the 8GB onboard memory, it seems more stable than a memory card. I have apps installed on My Memory that absolutly wouldn't work on my 700wx's memory card.

I am not suggesting ALL apps are OK on My Memory, but the Omnia does seem to give us more freedom of choice!

Has anyone done the "improve touch sensitivity" reg edit and did you notice an improvement? Can you confirm the setting of click---2000 and down/up---750 are the best settings? Is it too sensitive at these levels?

I'm wondering if it's just me, but when i use the Touch Player, it does not update any music that I have stored on the Storage Card. WM player is able to play music from the Storage Card. Anyone else had this problem?

Sure.

I replaced the old file with the new one you attached. When the phone is not connected the new pic shows up. However, when I connect the phone to the PC it reverts back to the standard picture. Any thoughts?

Did you put the file in the correct profile?
