Have you tried a reboot?

yeah and i just did the slot thing, taking it from two to zero. that did fix that problem.. but the phone does seem to be over all slower than before. Maybe its just bc the "new car smell" has worn off!

Yeah people just get used to their new devices, try going back to your old smart phone and you'll appreciate the new one more =D.

I notice this happens to all android devices, even my Nexus One (doesn't effect it that much though thanks to the snap dragon.) Try clearing your search history, browser history, etc. that's what i did to speed up my myTouch when i had it. Or you can do a wipe.

when you do a wipe (is that a factory reset?) do you loose everything? I would hate to loose all my bookmarks, passwords, and such.

Welcome to AF Maxcap75

If you do a factory reset you will lose everything that is not backed up. I am assuming you are not rooted so you would lose all app data, which would include browser data. Your apps will be uninstalled but can be redownloaded and may do so automatically. Your contacts should be synced with google.
