This was a really well written and thought-out piece.

I've had many of the same frustrations with my iPhone, the only reason that it's not more annoying is because I don't use my iPhone much as a phone.

The multi-account email switching also seems to be much more hassle than it really should need to be.

I'd also to be able to see some sort of missed calls/voicemails/emails status on the main screen, even before unlocking the phone. It seems trivial, but having to slide/unlock the phone just to get some basic status info gets tiresome after a while.

What's really strange to me is that 3rd party notifications get more prominence on the locked screen than the 1st party apps like email. My emails are much more important than a sports score or IM but the 3rd party stuff has access to the screen and email doesn't publish status there.
