Thanks again for the update. I appreciate all the help.

I think I'm noticing a slowdown but didn't really get a chance to use my phone this morning and it might have just been a "wakeup" slowdown. Since yesterday however I've noticed that it often takes two clicks on the power button to get the slider screen when I want to wake it up. Ever get that?

I also had a crash in the web-browser (while opening a PDF). Incidentally I have my browser cache set to 40 mb since someone said that would speed things up. I haven't tried clearing my cache - does the "clear private data" button also clear usernames and passwords or just cache?

When you say you had 12 apps running, do you mean browser windows or even more stuff? Later today I'll try pushing the phone a bit to see if it slows down but the network near my office is not 3g so its hard to put the phone through its paces.
