The UI is better than I expected. It looks great. The sluggishness of the device is due to the screen size was increased but the processor is still the same crap 200MHz that clocks in at 186 MHz. T-Mobile is always getting the 200mHz processor WM phones. What gives. I personally think its just HTC's way of making phones. I think all the 300~400mHz phones have 3G pre-built in and HTC makes phones without 3G technology but it has the low-end processor since without 3G its a low-end phone. Makes the most sense. So Once T-Mobile gets 3G, they get faster phones (network and processor wise).

Screen size increaesed? It's the same 240x320 resolution as the other HTC models TMobile has.

Screen size and pixel size are two different things. The screen is 2.6" while the standard WM standard/smartphone screen is usually 2.4" like the Dash.

Screen size and pixel size are two different things, understood, but that doesn't affect its performance to cause its "sluggishness". All the OS know is the pixel size are the same. It doesn't care if 240x320 is from a 2.6" or a 10 feet screen.

Actually, they're not, since once dictates the other for any given resolution. What you meant is resolution, which is independent of screen size. And as dorseto said, for any given resolution it doesn't matter what the physical size of the screen is, the processor still has to push around the same amount of pixels.

While I don't know for certain if it will work on this phone, Battery Meter freeware will overclock other HTC WM6 phones quite nicely.

My Wing is running at a noticeably snappier 273MHz, switchable back to 200MHz with a tap of the screen.
