Question Re: My Omnia experience (so far)

My experience so far has been 50/50. I am sure that once I master the correct way to tweak registry's, cook ROM's and all the experience will be much better. However, as of now I am not as exited as I was when I was reading all the forums about the phone:

The good the bad the ugly as far.

good: surprised that i could actually download a 200mb movie in 20 minutes
bad: signal dropped from wi-fi six times for no reason so I had to watch it the full 20 minutes
ugly: This thing gets hella-hot. I have never had a phone get as heated as this thing!

good: can download large files and surf the web
bad: web gets a tad slow even though I have a good amount of memory available
ugly: touch sensitivity and operability goes out the freaking window at this point. no matter how hard I press (not so hard as to break the screen) it will not move.

This is by far the worst battery life I have ever experieinced with a phone.I get, on average. about 2 - 2/1/2 hours worth of use out of this thing before it is back to the charger. Half hour web, a few espn podcasts downloads, a couple of short calls and just being turned on, in general, wears this thing out. It also takes AT LEAST 2 hours for it to fully charge back up. Is this normal?

As you can read i am not impressed so far. However, I am not going to give up on the phone yet. It might be me in some cases. Has anyone else experienced these issuses since they got their i910?
