Well....either way we should all find out on Tuesday according to SPB, so I guess if we can make it till then we should all get our reward (yeah.....easy to say!!!)!!!!

When officially released, there will be a new build even higher than the RC version--so yeah, there are quite a few revisions between yours and what will be released. Whether those are bug fixes, enhancements or new features is not known/public at this time.

Thanks for the info Mal.

this program sucks and is a memory hog. the only thing it does over 1.5 is ad a contacts page which you can put 12 in if i'm not mistaking. ohh yea and the fact that you can change in between the 3 pages by finger gesture. i'll stick to 1.5 much quicker. plus i only use it for browsing through my programs and stuff.

I really don't see any time lag in mine, and the memory footprint is virtually identical to the previous version in my WX....maybe I got lucky, but I kinda like it!!

I agree with syrguy...it seems pretty snappy. Even changing between tabs on the today screen seems faster.

Could be due to the superiority of the 700wx though

It does rock on the 700wx, but then again...to get technical...the 700wx uses the MSM-6500 chipset aka ARM 9 processor which sort of rocks.

Newer devices use the MSM-7xxx series with the ARM 11 processor which...err..under-performs to put it nicely.

In other words on my 700wx, PointUI's animations were very fluid whereas on the Mogul is was choppy. This is the whole "slow graphics on HTC devices" controversy rearing it's head.

Another option to consider: kill SPB MS using a process viewer and now UPX (UPX4PPC) that file and the other one--this will make the program even more zippy and save on ROM space.

I am loving it so far! Got it running on the Touch. I wish I could figure out how to get TouchFLO to open Mobile Shell instead of the cube. That's so yesterday!!

Anyone have any ideas?

You can "open" open mobile shell by dragging from the start button to the middle of your screen (diagonally) and holding. There you will see the 3 screens come to the foreground and you can pick which one you want to go to...
