I agree with some of the complaints you have.

It is cumbersome to swipe a few times to get to the notification that you were just notified of.

It is totally annoying how you are constantly reminded that you are not connected when you didn't connect.

I am totally annoyed at the fact that everytime you do connect you have to go into accounts and log back into the accounts you want to be connected to, why can't it be automatic upon connection.

I totally agree with swiping down on an app it showing up and then disappearing on the multi task screen, it should just go to the multi task screen direct with no extra animations

MY BIGGEST GRIPE - is how freaking weak the wifi is, please we need to be able to control the strength of it, in public places I can barely connect, at home I can barely connect, my old N82 could connect from what it seemed like miles away, the n900 even with the power set to weak could pickup wifi signals decently, I feel so freaking crippled with wifi I've just consigned myself to using 3g, I fear whats going to happen when the battery weakens over time due to normal use when I have to use 3g instead of wifi...

The device isn't perfect, but overall I love my experience with it, its so sexy compared to any other phone out there.
