Is this article based on the latest firmware? As I don't have as much issue as stated that's all.

I have the HTC Touch, and it has no real lag problems at all, so it seemed the 'new breed' would be even better in that department also.
There are loads of firmware updates avaialble for these PPC's so it all depends on what you are willing to do to customize your device too.
My HTC Touch has been running strong for over 12mths, I have not tweaked it at all, no new Modded ROMS or the like, I did install Opera (as a companion to IE) and a Video Player, which took some space, but no real changes to the resources used for these ontop of other running apps, which was great! |
