New HTC touch pro

[Mur]

Hey, I just got a HTC touch pro (CSMA) today and i have been fiddling with it all day and i want to do some tweaking with it before i load it up with all the programs i want.

I was wondering if anyone can give me a few pointers on what I should do to it or what programs you suggest to load on it?

I am also wondering how to make a backup of the rom i have because i think i would like to see if i can upgrade it.

Just to say, i have a good understanding about computers so you can lay it on me ;p
