Your #7 and #8 were the reasons why I tried and abandoned Android.

Regarding #12, I don't text while driving, but I leave judgment to others. BUT - I have to say that after 8 years on Treo 600, I find texting on the N900 a bit awkward. There is no way I can do it holding the phone in one hand and type with my thumb only. Plus I find the text too small (old eyes ) and I do not quite agree with the white-on-black colour scheme.
