Like thacounty suggested, you should root it. It could be a combination of any of those apps along with the bloatware. It's not too difficult to do with Flipz kitchen. It will help you in the long run, in the sense that

• if something ever happens, you could revert to your backups and not have to do a hard reset
• if worse comes to worse, you can revert back to stock

The biggest problem with rooting I have is, that I'm not that savvy and I'm afraid to screw something up. The other thing is, I'm not sure when I'll have the time to set aside and do all that work. Plus, once 2.1 finally arrives, there's no upgrading to it, correct?
