This was my experience as well actually. I looked at phonegap appcelarator and rhomobile for a while but it seemed that there was such a steep learning curve that you could just build things in the native platforms and have full access to the everything rather then having quasi access via webkit.

All three really were a letdown frankly. Right now im learning Jquery Mobile which oddly enough is kind of cool. Its got a decent community behind it. ANd its jquery so its somewhat more generic.
