Why so slow Ash 04-12-2006

Having upgraded my phone to a XDA Mini S, which came with Windows Mobile 5,
I upgraded Activesync to version 4.1, but why is it so slow? My previous
phone a Qtek S100 using Activesync 3.8 would connect and sync in a few
seconds even using USB 1. This phone connected by USB 2, seems to take about
2 minutes to do its stuff, both on my work pc and on my home pc..

Why does it take so long?

Hi,

One of the reasons might be the nature in which data is saved on the WM 5.0
devices. Earlier it used to be saved on the RAM and now it is saved on the
Flash ROM. Therefore it would be slightly slower in performance when
compared with earlier WM devices. The advantage of this change - Your data
will not be lost even if the device loses its battery charge like pre-WM
5.0.

The first sync after partnership is known to be a long process. However
subsequent sync, (depending on number of changes) will be quicker.

I've been told many times subsequent syncs would be quicker, but
unfortunately, my device is also suffering from slow sync - often
getting stuck at "Looking for changes" (even when there is no change).

The only way to get past that stage and speed things up for me is to
perform a soft reset before attaching to the computer.

No, I'm using a one week old Dopod 818 Pro, which I found out was a HTC
Prophet clone.
