I call bull***t on your idea to buy a DSLR to use it as a P&S, too.
In the opening post your attitude is that of a person who is impatient and not willing to accept the fact that DSLRs are different than SLRs and that some of your problems are probably due to your inexperience with digital. There are issues with the camera, that's undeniable, but these can be fixed. Since you haven't asked for an advice but you decided to bash the camera immediately, you should have expected this kind of responses.
You are not the first to have problems when switching from film to digital, and this discussion comes to mind first

Probably there are more, so search and read other people's experiences.
But, first and foremost, you need to accept the learning curve because DSLRs behave differently than SLRs. In digital there are many more options that you need to adjust in order to get what you want from the camera.
So tell what your gripe with the k-r is, first, are you images blurry, or just soft, or you're not happy with the WB, or with the level of noise/details? Or is it something else?
And post some pictures, for Pete's sake! If you do that, people might take you more seriously and may be willing to help.
All I have said above applies only if you are willing to take matters into your own hands! DSLRs won't think for you, they weren't designed with that thought in mind. They share this characteristics with SLRs, that's for sure... If you want the camera to think for you, P&S cameras are the way. They probably won't think very well (just like your k-r does not), but at least they'll do that for lot less $$.
Last thing, if you continue with your language, be sure that someone will report you to the admins (if that hasn't happened already)...
