I run cleanram every so often, it seems to find more than cleartemp, and I set my opera cache to save to internal storage (or SD card) and it really sped it up.
Also I cooked a ROM without manila and that also made a HUGE difference.This is how to change your Opera cache-->

Its nice to show off, but I rather use the 6.5 today screen, with the WM7 look. This seems like too much moving around to do something simple.

Just a friendly warning :

You may want to edit your post, that is a definite no in here, before 'others' take notice!!

If you have Mobile Shell 2.0 "AND A LIFE" stick with 2.0! I paid the half off upgrade price for 3.0, and spent several hours trying to see if I could figure out how to configure it for my needs and gave up. I don't need to spend that much time when I already have 2.0 doing what I want.
When I first put 2.0 on I loved that I could unlock the phone without touching the screen(using both soft keys). First thing I noticed about 3.0 was that it was gone. Bad start to begin with. I tried for a few hours and reverted back to 2.0.
Don't bother upgrading if you are happy with what you have and don't want to spend a whole lot of time learning a new program just to run the same programs you are running now!

GGAAAAHHHH!...CHANGE.....MUST....RESIST....CHANGE. .....

Man, a lot of the negative reviews of MS3 seem to be based mostly on a variant of "it's different." As in, I now have to do this, or I used to be able to do that...it's different.

Here's the way I look at the program. It turns your phone into a mobile PC desktop. You have multiple screens to put the programs on that you want to run. Then, a simple swipe of the finger, press the icon, and there you go. You really have 3 options...you can use the "desktop" space, the Launcher (which I NEVER use now), or the Start button. But, if you want a program that you use a lot to be quickly accessed, put a shortcut on the desktop.

Is it really that hard?

I Totally agree with you, its gonna take a while to get you own flavor, but once you do Its gonna be exactly what you want! I havent noticed any major slow downs especially since I set up Opera's cache to save to the internal storage card, cooked MS3.0 into my ROM and removed Manila alltogether!
I got plenty of memory and it seems faster than ever.

I'm with volsmcfalls with feeling like a lot of the bad reviews center on 'it's different'. Personally, I have my Lifestyle pafe expanded to 5 pages, and between shortcuts, app icons, widgets and contact icone, I hardly ever leave that screen, I almost never see the Proffesional page, or Today screen. I really love the flexability of the Lifestyle layout!!

Now...I know a lot of people will prefer other apps, or MS2 over MS3, and I understand personal preference (one of the strong points of having a WM device after all), but personally, I really do thing MS3 is a great 'next step' for Shell!!!!

A couple changes I would think about suggesting to SPB though would be the ability to at least chose to cover the upper system bar or not (loved that in MS2, I had all my notifications show elsewhere though), being able to toggle contact icons to the way they are now or as speed-dial icons, and the ability to 'widgetize' Today plug-ins.

+ 1 for Syrguy, SPB MS3 is da isht and it can only get better, been using sob products all along and they are the best out there 5 pages life style do the trick for me too.
