I don't think you have a bad unit.  There are poor configurations in the Om2008 
distro that cause problems.  Like qpe indexing everything on your SD Card 
slurping up CPU or having the Illume keyboard disabled.  

Then there are the bugs posted in Harold's blog:

I have the impression that there is still a LOT of low level work to be done 
that can improve the state of things.  Hopefully OM's new direction will yield 
a much better experience.
