i got my vox a month ago and i love the design. probably the only smartphone design out there that looks as good as it does. But the problem i'm having with it is the performance level...i've had it lock up on me, sometimes it takes forever to load a simple task such as my text messages. I love the phone design to death, is there a phone that keeps this slick design but performs just as well? I know htc released a s730, but really? lol come on, its bigger, contains the same amount of ram, faster processor but still...

Or is it time i move to a pocket pc? do they perform better than smartphones? Or am i looking at this entirely from the wrong view, is it windows mobile thats causing this? is there away i could change the OS installed, maybe like the OS pocketpc's run? I'm not new to all this, but I would like some input and what everyones feeling, or if anyone is feeling the way I am. thanks again guys, looking forward to your responses

p.s. if you have any recommendations on devices i should look at, please let me know cause I might start looking for something new

i'm looking at the iphone, its recieved some good reviews, and it seems really responsive, anyone know if that is a good upgrade to my certain dilemma?

Really depends on whether or not you need to extra functionality that Windows Mobile provides. If you just play music (and don't use bluetooth A2DP headphones for that) and browse the web, IPhone is prob. the way to go.

what extra functionality would u say windows mobile provides? right now, the only feature i use a lot is msn messenger. but smarphones in general are kind of sluggish, avg phoen holds about 64 mb of ram. running msn on my vox, that leavs me with about 18 mb free. not to mention if you try and do too much, the phone locks up.
