Well I took the plunge and figured tonight was my 'play night'. I synched my Wing, did a backup, and then did the dreaded 'hard reset'. I wanted to see what would happen to memory if I did not load all the TMO Applications that come with the Wing.

So I 'hard reset' and then after I did the initial screen alignment and skipped the training stuff, I did a soft-reset before the TMobile Customizations could begin.

After the soft-reset, I noticed several things...

1) My free Program Memory ended up at 14mb out of the box. Not amazing but a definite improvement. I had 31mb of Storage Memory available also (before my initial sync with Outlook).

2) I lost the following
- IM Communication app (TMobile's IM client for AIM and YAHOO)
- Hotspot Utility (big deal)
- Email Utility (big deal)
- the TMO today plug-in that shows your active network (no biggie there)
- the TMO today plug-in that shows if your Wifi and BT are running (no biggie)

It was pretty clean. Nothing lost that I really needed. And, you actually got an HTC today plug-in that shows three icons for battery life, screen orientation changer (nice), and the Comm Manager. If you need AIM, get Agile Messenger (free) or IM+ ($$).

3) The systray apps remained the same. So I guess we have to blame WM6 for those and not T-Mobile...

So as I write this I am doing my initial sync with the PC to get my data on their and then I have about six apps to install which will all be installed on my SD card (except Resco Explorer which is best kept on the device).

So I guess the stupid handango utility is part of wm6 as well as the Live thing? the pagepool fix also is needed tmobile needs to fix that because 12 mb wayyy too big.
