Photos taken on this phone are decent, good enough to leave my digital camera home, but the experience of taking photos is horrible - slow, sluggish, non-responsive like the overall interface. After only few minutes, it becomes quite warm.
Can a custom ROM really make this phone usable?

After down the followings, it now works acceptable:
Hard reset. After screen alignment was done and as soon as I saw "customize..., OK, in 3 seconds" I push the reset button to prevent the Sprint garbage from installing.
In Today settings, uncheck TouchFlo 3D.
Installed GSen to enable screen auto rotate.
Still nothing like the iPhone, but it does all the work for me, camera, Google Maps (yes GPS), Opera Mini, gmail, Remote Desktop... The only problem left is all the hard buttons, this is simply a failed design and, to put the salt on the cut, the Right button on my unit is defective.
