apps failing, glitches galore, lemon phone?

Okay the story goes like this

recieved phone 5 days ago
worked great for 2 days, 3rd day had issues

Downloaded:
Beer guide app
happy hours app
mixology app
color note app
ford rangerforum app
pandora

Issues:
Messaging app failure (force close)
generic network failure
Pandora would not go past the welcome screen (worked great for a few hours though)
googlemaps took FOREVER to load however google navigation worked great
slacker wont load
several other small glitches

went into tmobile and got an update to 2.3.5

so now i am STILL having issues but some different issues too.

new downloads:
pandora
color note
ford ranger forum
adobe flash player (downloaded to fix an issue)
advanced task killer
look out security

Glitches/issues:
i pay for 4g 2gb data, i have MORE THAN 1.5 gb of data left and itll show that i am using 2g mobile network sometimes
watching video from sites other than youtube will go directly to screen share (which i dont want) and thennn it doesnt even play, downloading adbobe seems to have fixed that but it loads slow and only plays once (no repeat option, and forces me to reload it if i want to rewatch it)
messaging failure
abnormal reset (happend once, this morning)
not sure if this is related but...before the update, my car charger couldnt charge my phone very well but after the update it works okay (buying new charger anyway)
some apps wont open like rockband (which i could care less about lol)
adding words to dictionary so i can swype it (such like ****ing, wtf, my email) does not get recgonized when writing messages


i have insurance so its not a huge deal to get the phone replaced but i wanted to try this first...


NOTE: PHONE HAS NOT BEEN DROPPED (I SWEAR) nor has it been near any water whatsoever.


please help i really LOVE this phone and dont have any biased feelings towards it, i just want it to work correctly
