I was in a store yesterday where I was able to play with a Moto droid. I was FLOORED at how much snappier and slick than my TMO Mytouch 3G.. I could easily get menus and screens flying around so fast, I had to pause from time to time to take in what I was looking at...

I know the Droid has a different CPU, but the mhz is close to what the myTouch has.. Is the huge speed difference because the Droid is running 2.0?

I dont run a lot of resident apps or widgets on my phone.. I have tried the different desktops, and settled on the dxTop because of its relative speed.. Any ideas?

I am so bummed about my myTouch!..
 
I was so annoyed with the sluggish performance, I researched a little and rooted my phone. (gotta love youtube!)

I loaded the hero rom, and got the same snappy performance I was seeing on the Moto Droid. awesome.. It proves the sluggishness is due to the software.

I didnt like the fact it was based on 1.5 so I loaded cyanogen 4.2.13..

AWESOME!.. so fast, slick... I am loving this!
