But I have a few grumbles about it which is making me think about returning it and waiting for something else to come along. Bare in mind I`m coming from a 3 year old phone so this is quite a leap in tech. But...

1.Almost every time I scroll down my contacts I inadvertently tap one and it starts calling them. Is there a way to setup a double tap to call? This is really annoying.

Thats not an issue that has been addressed yet. Not sure on that one.

Again, i have no experience here. I'm sure there is a faster pdf viewer in the app market

I can only assume that this bothers you because you have used other OS's in the past. Android (and linux as a whole) uses available memory differently. It assigns programs memory priority based on usage. For example, if you have every program in the market running simultaneously, the one app that you are using will be the only app using memory. This is very handy because all the apps can be at the ready without wasting memory.

Install the MR and set the ISO (in camera settings) to 800. This makes the camera worlds better.

This is one of the issues addressed in the MR. After installing it, i have had nary a problem. It reall does help a lot
