Since ive bought the hero i have not installed a task manager...and i would see it getting a little more laggy or choppy...so i decided to install task killer...wallah, my phone is back to being the way it was when i first got it....i know the rumors and all, but i do think task manager is the way to go...to go from 90mp free to 180mb, its a no brainer....anyways, this is just my 2 sense. good night
