Recently got a 7100g (Cingular) to replace my Treo 600 (Verizon) service. I used PocketMac to create a 1-MB iCAL file and ported it to the 7100. Worked fine, but I was tempted to interrupt it when it **appeared to ** quit responding. I let it sit there for 30 minutes, and finally everything got resolved. However, the problem is that, in 'day' view, when going from one date to the next, it takes the little 7100 FOUR SECONDS. Also, when I create an event, it takes 1-2 seconds after completing the entry to be accepted into the database. This is incredibly and unacceptably slow. Anyone seen this behavior with a large CAL file? I am tempted to upgrade to the 7290, but the benchmarks on this forum indicate a modest speed increase (30%). So now it would only take 2.5 seconds rather than 4 to get form one date to the next. Still absurdly slow. Tempted to go back to a Treo if no BB solution out there.

Thanks!
