Hello,

This is my first post here so I hope I'm in the right spot I figured this would be the best place to ask this kind of a question.

My N900 was just delivered about 2 hours ago. All I've done is installed the Sim Card, Battery, Charged it, and Upgraded the Maemos 5 option it gave me to upgrade. I chose a different (factory-provided) theme and background image. I also installed the Facebook widget but that was later on and the problem was occurring from the get-go.

Basically, my N900 is running *extremely* slow. For example, when I try to just slide over from desktop to desktop, it halts half-way through the scrolling/animation with some glitchy looking graphics and doesn't even redraw until I touch it. When I'm scrolling through the Apps Manager, I have the same problem. It's as if this thing is having a really tough time drawing and/or updating the graphics buffer. I don't really understand what's going on so it's hard to explain.

The command line runs flawlessly though -- once I can actually pull it up. So I'm not sure if it's a CPU issue as much as it is a memory or even a graphics issue.

Running top, I see that my CPU is sitting at 96% idle. It looks like 223MB of memory is used and 21MB of memory is free (rounding). That feels excessively high to just be sitting idle with only the command line running so I assume that it's not an accurate indicator of memory usage.

I have bluetooth disabled. I am connected to a Wifi(G) network so that might explain a little bit of a problem. I have my SIM card in but had AT&T put a block on my data so I don't think it's doing a whole lot there. The thing that's using the most memory is X which is only taking up 6% of my memory.

I read another post and kind of google'd around for a bit but it seems like other people's problems are with mutitasking. My problem is just using the standard interface with practically nothing running.

If anyone has any suggestions on what might be going on or what I should do, I'd be happy to hear them.

Thanks a lot!
