What do you do when the stock ROM sucks?

Hi guys,

Just got a touch pro 2 on Sprint. It's running the stock 6.5 Sprint ROM. This phone is a joke so far.

I have the dreaded sleep problem, that is, when the phone goes to sleep, it won't turn on, period. Disabling sense UI seems to help somewhat, but then today with sense enabled, the sleep issue occurred again. A soft reset fixed it. But a hard reset is required simply to use my phone if I desire the nice sense UI.

What should be my next step? Mind you, I have no extra apps installed on the phone except Google maps. I feel like my demands are reasonable--be able to use a phone and have it turn on when you push the power button. Email, and the web browser. I do want windows mobile 6.5, however.
