I appreciate all the input. Half the fun with my old touch was moding it to my taste. I have been to all those threads and they have some great ideas. My goal was to wait a week or two before moding it, but I already noticed some things that really bugged the hell out of me. I know I will get differing opions about which app is the best, so i like to try them for awhile and see how they suit me. I take notes.

My gripes:
1.) Battery (same with the touch). I did the usual things, like reduce backlight, turn off world settings, drop down task mgr and cdma only.
2.) the clock style.(turned off the flipping thing).
3.) lack of quick launches(fixed that with co0kies home tab)
4.) The rest I will tackle as they come up!!
5.) Always goes back to home screen when you close an app.
My next project is to check out different background, wallpaper, and icon themes. I will try the media players and weather services you all suggested.

thanks again.
