I see what you did there. You cut off the "Weekday" bit.
I guess you could fit a short form on top of the date. There is a bit of space beside the "pm" of the clock. You could fit a Sat, Sun, etc

Well this is the best design so far and hope you can make a portrait version with these elements rearranged when it switches to portrait mode.

Now hope MAG can make this a reality soon.


EDIT: I liked your "Icon only" event notifications. Guess they look neater than the words. But as missed calls are usually denoted by a red colour in most UIs, it would have looked better if the missed call icon was red rather than blue. But its just my opinion and blue looks good too.
