I've replaced my Calendar App for Agenda: http://www.precentral.net/homebrew-apps/agenda Haven't used the Calendar since. I highly doubt Palm reads this. They have their own forums on their website, and highly active ones at PreCentral. This one doesn't have enough traffic.

OK, I've complained here, and will no doubt complain again, about how slowly the Pre scrolls from day to day in the calendar. I'm used to the Treo/Centro/Blackberry, all of which can scroll from day to day as fast as you can press the D-ring or scroll the trackball! The Pre is glacial by comparison. Scroll . . . wait . . . scroll . . . wait . . . etc. Makes it VERY difficult to scroll around to a day or week to try to zero in on a day to schedule something. As when, for instance I have to scroll out "about 5 weeks" to schedule my next haircut. Yes, I can use the incredibly klunky Go to Date screen. That's almost worse. Who designs these things? What need/want to do is just flick through the days as fast as I can flick my finger, and the Pre won't do it. HOWEVER, in the week or month views (which I've never used on any mobile platform), one can scroll quickly, and sort of approximate the search-and-find-a-day action that I'm used to on the older, but in this way superior platforms. In the week view, one can scroll a week at a time sideways and at least see free/busy time. In the month view, things scroll vertically, so you can smoothly scroll through partial months. In the case of my example, I can go to the calendar, switch to month view, flick down a bit to 5 weeks from now, click on the Monday of that week, and then start the glacially slow process of examining the days. At least I'm starting in about the right place now! I still hope Palm will make scrolling from day to day instantaneous. I'm sure THEY know it's painful the way it is now. I can only assume there is some issue with the merged calendar view (which I don't use, actually, since "a man with more than one calendar has none") needing to dynamically build each day one at a time. Palm should read this forum. In fact, given the proactiveness of The New Palm, I have a hard time believing they don't have someone who reads it. Craig has said they don't, though, and he knows things. . . I love this device - it's so cool, still, even after almost 4 months!!!
