Thank you!

Works fine, except for some memory creep.

I have Oxios Hibernate, but after it's been on a few hours I still experiences about a 6% memory creep (I boot with about 59% and over time get to around 65%). Oxios clears about a meg of RAM (or is it ROM?), and killing ActiveSync clears another percent point or so, but I'm just curious to know if anyones found a way to either prevent the creep or clear up the gain?

I have very few issues with the shell itself. Beautifully designed and works like a dream. I think my only complaint (aside from the creep) is that I much prefer iContact over the shells contatct manager.
I also noticed that after the device has been on for a little while I had trouble editing a calendar event. I would click on the event to edit the title and it would close the editing screen and kick me back to the homepage. After a hard reset it no longer did this.
Same with a game I have called Another world. The device had been on for several hours and had experienced some memory creep (about 6%). The game hung and the D-pad seemed functionless (on my Titan 6800). However, the hard reset button still worked, and killed the program for me. I performed a hard reset and booted the game and it worked fine.
I believe the memory creep is causing issues with these programs.
Anyone else?

Also, I am very much thinking of getting a TouchPro. Does anyone think the added RAM, ROM and Processor speed would change this, or could this be a beta bug (the shell is still in Beta, correct?).

Thanks again!

Re: SPB Mobile Shell 3.0!!

Re: SPB Mobile Shell 3.0!!

Re: SPB Mobile Shell 3.0!!
