Regarding the processing power (or lack thereof in what is billed as a workhorse PDA): This isn't particularly surprising when you're using a processor that debuted 4 years ago and a RAM amount that debuted 5 years ago. WM just isn't that fast when drawing to a VGA screen- it has the same lags the Dell Axim x51v, iPAQ 4700, and Toshiba e8xx series had 4 years ago (and yet in addition to everything else, it's supposed to be powering a phone, GPS, and cellular data connection at the same time). There's a reason why the new HTC Touch phones are using 256 or higher MB of RAM to drive their TouchFlo 3D UI. I've been pretty underwhelmed by my 7501 thus far. I expected more for such an expensive (even by high-end WM phone standards) device.
