New Touch Pro user with some questions!

[AdamD81]

I just got a touch pro with Alltel the other day and updated it with Mighty Rom which is awesome!=D> I had a few general questions about the phone.

I know the battery life is a popular topic... But i pretty much have to charge it twice a day! Ive been on it a lot since its new, and im messing around with Rom's and mods etc... But is it really that bad?! any tweaks or programs i can use to help it out? I leave nothing running in the back ground. Also when your not using the phone do you lock it and press in the power button uptop? not sure the best mode to put it in when its not in use.

Also my phone seems to always be running hot. Im sure when i sure when i use it its going to get hotter since its doing alot of work. I've had pda's and smartphones in the past so im used to teh warmth of them when they are ruunning. but i tjsut seems the touch pro is hotter than usal and hot majority of the time.

thanks in advance for the help/advice!
