I could be wrong but I couldn't figure these out:

* work email does not support HTML - unacceptable
* Roadsync does not support HTML email - unacceptable
* Phone is very sluggish even launching apps can be slow
* Browsing over WIFI is still slow

I want to like this phone but I find it very frustrating so far.

Uninstalled everything that didn't come with it out of the box except Sherpa and it's more responsive but browsing is VERY dissapointing. I have a JB Iphone 2G over WIFI that is easily 2-3x faster for browsing.
 
I agree that mine, only had it a day, is VERY, VERY sluggish in that- for example- when viewing Gmail I have to wait once I tap on an email before it pops up. It almost looks like the phone freezes momentarily. Then when the email does open up it has a blank white email body for about 3-5 seconds before appearing. This happens with the browser and a few other apps as well. I wonder what it could be. My G1 was NEVER like this.

Additionally how do we get the OS update that was released just recently?

Additionally I would like to add something...

I just received my first call on the phone and it lags a lot when ringing through and displaying anything on the screen. The phone audibly alerts as well as flashes everything it can flash, but the screen stays black for a good 3 seconds.

What could I do to speed it up. I don't really have anything running in the background. Thanks! :)

it shipped with 1.5 already installed... i never had a G1 so i dont know the speed difference, but i'm pretty satisfied with mine having migrated from a Curve... dont really have much of a lag on accessing email or launching apps.. only thing wrong is my syncing with my work email has a problem where addresses from my work are missing the first character when i reply to messages... annoying but i work around it for now by manually typing them in. LOVE the phone so far!

I am not sure if you said before ... when you do a REPLY .... is that when it drops the first character of the reply to email address ?
