After a week, back to my centro?

[protomind]

I have been using a new sprint touch for about a week. I have not done any customizations to it as I do not know if I will be keeping it. I am not sure what a 'cooked rom' and a windows customization could offer in terms of making this easier and smoother to use, but I am exploring some options. Below I will list a couple of problems I am having with the touch, I will start with the worst to the least.

Touchflow interface is slow for me, not at all responsive and cumbersome to use.
Navigating the phone and its options can be difficult at times. Try hitting the end call button after dialing "1" for example. (I suspect this would not seem so bad if the phone didnt respond with a lag)

The standard keyboard options need improvement, and I understand that there are options.

Text messaging does not have a chat mode like in the palm os, which is awesome.

The battery life is a little weak IMO -maybe I just got a bad battery.

The only way to make it better involves a bit of work and a possible voided warranty.



What should I do about this? I am good at modding things in general. My 360, Wii, PSP, Xbox are some things I modded. I am sure that I could mod this. But it will require several hours of research to do it right. While I have been doing some research, I haven't decided whether to go back to Palm or stay.

How much better and faster is the new sprint rom for instance? any input on just updating to the new 'leaked' rom is appreciated. I was thinking of installing it, but I was wondering if sprint is releasing a new official rom soon.
