Where do I start?

[mike02467]

So I've had 2 WM phones now, a ATT tilt and now a fuze, aka touch pro 2.

I am getting very frustrated with this phone as it is very slow, glitchy and a PITA to use.

I am using the latest ROM from HTC's website. I am not 100% sure where to start on making this phone better, because I've heard they can be a lot better with different ROM's and stuff..
Running WM 6.5

Few things that annoy the crap out of me:
-when I open the keyboard, the screen takes a good 2 seconds to rotate.
-when I'm browsing the web (I use opera mainly, I have tried skyfire but it kept crashing) the zoom feature is very glitchy, sometimes it will re-size text to the screen, other times it won't.
-If I'm looking at a photo I took on the phone and tilt the phone sideways to look at it, the image turns. I have no clue how to turn this feature off.

Any help is greatly appreciated. I feel like I had a lot more luck with my TILT, up until the point where it was submerged in rubbing alcohol...
