@catacalysm: Thanks for all the help. I certainly don't want to ask you to go too far on your phone but I'm curious: do you never feel like it gets a bit slow. At the end of my second day on this experiment I am noticing a slight slowdown. Its nothing unmanageable but I think its slower than this morning but its hard to be sure. If it doesn't become blatant than it might just be in my head. But to compare more concretely can you please try some simple stuff. launch the media player and start an mp3. Pause it and launch a browser window. Then try connecting to a network. While its connecting switch to the music player and start it playing then switch immediately to a browser window and try to access a site (or reload an old one). When I did something like this music playback stuttered noticeably. Even while typing this I got an sms and when I switched to check it music play stuttered a bit. Do you get this or do I have an issue.
