Trinity , why so slow????.

[greenba]

I just purchased the Trinity. Installed HTC official rom upgrade (GPS enable).
I found the device is very slow in alunching applications.
For my work i need to manage about 6000/7000 outlook contacts and activesync everyday with my office server.
I previously owned a qtek9090 (blue Angel) with PPC2003 and worked quite ok (syncronize time abt 30 mints) . With the Trinitry it took me abt 3-4 hours and then i had to stop syncronization.
When i opened "contacts" with the Blue Angel it took me fraction of a second to open the Contacts' windows.
Now with the Trinity it takes about 15 secs!!!!
All the commands of Trinity are reacting much slower than the Blue Angel.
How it can be? Being a new device running WM5, isn't it supposed to be faster than the old Blue Angel?
Anyone experienced same problem? Anyone can give suggestions?

USB sync or OTA? Exchange2003?

You should check out Pocket Mirror. It will sync anything you can see in Outlook. I have nearly 1000 contacts and sync my Trinity with our Exchange public addresses. It takes about 10 seconds.

It will organize your contacts into categories on your Trinity automatically if you have contacts in multiple folders. If you view by category and not try to display all 6000 at once, you may find it to be quite fast.

WM5 is slower than 2003 but newer devices tend to be faster than older ones.

I had a Blue Angel also :)

We had a similar query when WM5 came out, but I can't remember if there was a fix!

It seems that WM5 handles Activesync contacts differently to WM2003, and all PIM data is now held in a file called PIM.Vol in main memory, ratehr than in separate 'databases'. 7000 contacts is a huge amount for the system to aggregate, which is why it is so slow.

I'll try & look out some of the previous responses.

Unfortunately, there doesn't appear to be any answer to your woes- a Contact list of 7000 is simply too big for the memory available in WM5.

A MS article Here (http://www.futurehardware.in/550632.htm) gives the bad news :(
