I'm also a graphic designer so I'll try to give you a little feedback from that perspective and what I've found helpful.

1. Pocket Informant. Great PIM manager. Does everything your asking for. Allows you to use icons for different categories (and you can create your own).

2. Haven't had luck with the project management software yet, especially one suited for a design/agency perspective. I asked the same question a couple months ago.

3. Not sure about the battery. I get great battery life. It sounds like something is running while you think it is turned off. Or it's turning itself back on. I'm not sure, but that battery life doesn't sound right.

4. Not really sure about that one either. What version Axim do you have? I have Axim Advanced running PPC 2002 (still on A00) and it runs great. I do overclock to about 498mhz using Turbo Tray (overclock at your own risk).

5. Not sure about this either.

6. Here are my must have's on my PPC. Most you have to pay for. I used a lot of the freebies for awhile, and many of them do a great job. I've just found that I like the polish and extra features that you get with funded software.

Codewallet - encrypted storage for bank accounts, passwords, etc.

Microsoft Money - money management. Use it on my PC too.

Pocket Streets - mapping software

PocketMusic - plays MP3s, WMAs....

Resco File Explorer - file explorer very much windows like that has extra features like compression

Dashboard - skins the today screen and provides a different way of organizing your today screen. being a designer, I love to customize...this software is great.

Wisbar Advace - skins top and bottom menu bars, task manager

Acrobat Reader - for reading pdfs.

Microsoft Reader - ebooks

Pocket Artist - very cool (albeit expensive) program right along the lines of Photoshop. You can even use psd files with it. Has layers, effects....a lot of the similar features of Photoshop.

Still looking for that project management software though....

It seems you are having a lot of issues with your device though (slow, screen problem, battery drain)...I would try and make sure something isn't wrong with it. Maybe do a hard reset and start from scratch again to make sure you have a clean system. If you continue to have the problems, you may have some bad hardware.

Hope this helps.
