Has backgrounder improved yet? (multi-tasking you mentioned). Last I looked into it (when considering the iPhone) it was buggy and crash prone. Though to be fair ysss, alot of those uses you mentioned seems to imply that you jailbreaked the device. And in that case you should point out that out too. =P

@sachin: I use a few 3rd party programs on the iphone (for multitasking, for allowing skype over 3G, etc) and with one of them you can 'pull' a small drawer on top of the screen with a bunch of toggles (they're customizable). I have the following toggles set on mine:
Cellular, 3G, WIFI, Bluetooth, GPS, Brightness..
In my daily usecase I use wifi at home and at work and I generally toggle wifi on only when I enter those two areas. It's very quick to do... turn on the phone, swipe the lock, swipe down for drawer and there's one-click access for all the toggles I mentioned above.
For 'saved' access points, it will auto-connect without any prompts (you'll see the 3G icon replaced with the WIFI 'fan' icon).
Want me to take a short video (<1 minute) to show you around?
Won't hurt to see what the competition's like. Heh.

I am not sure about the usability because my n810 does not have 3G.... so it is going to be different for me.

@sachin: Well, by default there's no quick-toggle for the wifi. I just installed the quick toggle utility so I can keep them off when I know for sure iI won't be using it to lessen power drains and whatnot.
Hmmm.. no wireless on\off? I'd much prefer to have one..

Well, it's kind of pointless to compare facts with assumptions at this point.
Let's talk and compare more when we can use less 'I assumes' in our sentences. I've also put in my amazon preorders, so I won't be blowing hot airs either when doing the comparisons.

Backgrounder + kirikae works well for me, just have to watch the memory consumption and close some apps when the free mem goes below 30MB.
My iphone very rarely crashes (actually i can't recall any unplanned reboots ever since i've upgraded to 3gs, more than 2 months ago). When an app doesn't get enough ram, it closes and dumps you back to homescreen (springboard). That's also a rarity on the 3GS (3x more free ram after loading the OS compared to the previous iphones. )
