have to say I am close to parting with this phone - not sure why but since 6.5 it does seem a tad more sluggish. I have a few more apps running which is one reason but overall its lost its charm. The keyboard is still awesome but I dont use it as much as I thought.

Could wait for WM7 or perhaps jump to Android as I use google a lot...:confused:

Are you running the manila interface or the titanium interface?
I've found that manila, although great eye candy, can be a little sluggish.
I use my phone mostly for business, so I need it to be as fast as possible, so I've been using the titanium interface (says windows default in the options).
I'm not a programmer, but it just seems like if you throw a different UI on top on the windows phone OS, it tends to slow things down, plus, the $(*#*[email protected] video driver for the 7201 chips isn't a hardware driver (I think). I remember back with the fuze, there were people trying to improve the video driver to make the UI a little more responsive. Maybe the same thing needs to be done
for this phone, since it uses a similar graphics chip?
Try the titanium interface, it might speed things up for you.

trying now yes bit quicker thanks

whats the going second hand price for these in the UK - 350quid seem like a good offer?
Check e-bay to see what people are bidding/winning them in auction to get a good idea of what the "going rate" is.

350quid ~ 650 US dollars, which I would jump on if someone has already offered that...but if you're looking to list it for that much, it might be a bit high compared to what I've seen on there.
