Do you have the facebook app installed ? If so try to delete it and see if it speeds up. It has been causing a lot of issues. The only other thing would be a memory issue but the 8330 has plenty of on board memory

If you've left some apps running in the background, ie: didn't close them all the way, you can select ALT - Escape (Key to right of trackball), this will thow if any third party apps are running. BB Messenger, BB Browser and a few others are always there, though the others you can select... choose menu... and select close.

Yep, apps running the background can be a real problem. Be sure to close them appropriately. And every once in a while, do a battery pull. BTW, welcome to CB!

wow never realized that the apps were still running in the background even though i got out of them....still a little bb naive i guess

this is such a helpful and informative site!

What is a battery pull?

Wow, I never knew that. I have been having major issues the last few days with my battery going down incredibly fast. I'm sure this was part of the problem.
Thank you PvT
