Potential touch owner questions

The touch seems like I good phone, I am also going to be receiving my Touch this week, replacing my mogul. Only thing is that I heard the GPS is flaky, some times it works, sometimes it doesn't. My friend just got his touch, and the that is how his GPS is. I know that turning off the sound on the dialer will make it run faster, but doesn't that make it so you can't dial a number to things like automated machines, such as when you are trying to call sprint, and it says press 1 for English (I thought I read this somewhere, not sure if it is true).
