2) Consider installing the "hacked" AKU2 rom update, I now have directpush email on my device through 4smartphone.net and get my email fatser than I even do on my Blackberry
3) Devicelock app:

4) Install SPB PocketPlus and keep making sure you close large apps, also install MemMaid and see what may be taking up memory, cause memory loss/leaks make this thing slow
Can't help with the Keyboard, it really just isn't very good.
But with AKU2, the 802.11g hack, and a bunch of apps I have to say I am finally very happy with the MDA.
Ditto on the Smartkey app. This really ups the useability factor of the MDA. You may also want to get the Registry Hack Tool from
XDA Developers Forum which offers several tweaks in a single, simple interface.
