-Two ways to do what you are describing. Hit the phone button on the home screen. That is your calls in most recent order, not your contacts or by using HTC's people widget, which asks you when you add people to choose what default behavior you want. Going to your contacts from a shortcut will only open the address book.

3. One reason for buying the phone was for reading pdf ebooks. For this it seems ridiculously slow, having to watch the page draw takes about 30 seconds.
-Just because it can read .pdf files does not mean it is a good idea to use it as a book reader. It would have never came to my mind to use the Hero as a replacement for the Kindle. I don't think they(Sprint or HTC) ever marketed that way. I could be wrong...

4. I got an TaskKiller and I`ve noticed tasks starting by themselves. For example I rebooted only to see shopsavvy was running in the background!?

Any suggestions.
I really want to keep the phone, but these niggles are really making me think about returning it,maybe for the hd2 which seems to have a faster processor, albeit with windows mobile
I just came from Windows Mobile. I like it, but at this point I would not return.
