Sluggish and Unresponsive

Is anyone else having problems with the Moto Droid being sluggish? My Droid is extremely slow to respond, if it decides to respond at all. I took it into the store and they removed my antivirus app, which helped it a little bit. But it's still very, very slow.

When I slide the screen to access the keyboard, it delays the home screen from loading up for at least 10-20 seconds, and sometimes I have to remove the battery and restart the phone to get it to show up. It also does this during phone calls. I can't even tell you how many phone calls I've been unable to take because of my Droid's slow response to answering the phone.

I've uninstalled apps that I don't use very much, and I've moved as many as will allow me to my SD card. Nothing seems to help.

I'm frustrated and have been telling everyone that asks about the Droid NOT to get one because they're garbage. Really, really wishing I would've kept my BlackBerry. Guess it serves me right for wanting newer and "better".

When was the last time to cleared out the cache in your apps?

Go to settings >applications > wait for the list to completely load >menu >press sort by size. Start selecting them one by one and see if the "clear cache" button is white. Press that button. This will clear out more of the internal memory.

Beyond that I'm not sure. I don't own that kind of phone.

I'm having the same problem. I took it into verizon and they tried to see if it was the sd card and removed it and cleared that to see if the apps were pulling things from the card. After that didn't work they did a factory reset on my phone. That seemed to make it faster once they did that. But once I put my apps back on the phone adn have been using it for over a week now, it's slow and sluggish again. I was told that this was all documented in my file and if I took it back with the same issues they would give me a replacement phone. Trying to decide if it's worth getting another phone that was repaired or just keeping my phone and deeling with it till I can get a new one. Would love if they allowed me to get the Droid2 or DroidX and paying the difference.
