pretty sure you can actually change the way the phone works through settings but I like the default settings and generally hold the phone by the case so I tend not to have the problems your experiencing with inadvertently pressing one of the buttons
but if you still stuck with Cortana and really don't want it you can hit the search button on the bottom of the screen to open Cortana, hit the 3 horizontal bars icon on the top right of the screen, tap settings at the bottom of the list, move the first slider to off,
for those that want to change cortana's voice, hi speech settings and then you can change the nationality (data downloads apply) and swap between female and male, that will give you a choice of 3 English speakers

Thanks - rather limited choice - British, American or Indian...

Pointless exercise it seems - I switched to American and mail - and got an American male - but Cortana disappeared! I was back to Bing voice search. So I've reset to UK and Female and Cortana's reappeared...

As for apps, these are the ones I use and would recommend:
Book an appointment to give blood
Find areas you can park in
Let people know when you're on your way
BBC, ITV, Channel4, and Channel 5
Finger painting! (and why not)
Car Fuel Tracker
Lightweight train departure boards
Public transport planner
Name that tune
Remote control your computer
An alternative to HERE maps Owned by Google, but was bought by them rather than developed by them
Skype
