I recently purchased an 8300 and love the phone so far. One minor problem though is that the OS seems a lot slower on the 8300 than on my old reliable 8700. It takes a long time to switch between applications, at least as compared to the 8700. Anyone else notice this?
I agree... had the 8700, 8100 (pearl) and 8800 -- and the Curve now, and haven't found it any slower. Only time it ever feels slow is if I've been playing with an app that has a memory leak (and memory gets too low), and occasionally a Today Theme can feel slower than the other types. Aside from that, I think the Curve should be as fast as any of the predecessors.
Got my 8320 on Tmo today as well. It is slower then my 8700g with 4.1. Changing screens has a slight delay. Unfortunate... Doesn't bother me enough to return it though..
Same here. 8700g w/4.1 to 8320 w 4.2 and it's definitely slower in the ways described - changing screens, apps, etc. Not enough to return. But noticeable.
