I think it's a Vogon issue.

The problem is that Nokia has become Microsoft, in that they're sitting on crappy phones and a crappy platform that's had it's day, but because they're such a massive dominant company they don't need actually make a decent phone or decent OS; the crap ones still sell by the millions reguardless.
That said, even Microsoft's upped it's game recently.

Agreed, that new Nokia (N8?) looks interesting but I have yet to get excited about anything they have churned out.
Winmo7 could be interesting, like to see if they have really moved forwards.

The N800 runs Meamo which is a little better than Symbian, but I used one in the Carphone Warehouse the other day and it's really nothing special at all, pretty much a stretched N97.
Windows Phone 7 is interesting, though IMO the Kins will flop.

Read up on the Kin One tonight, not impressed, not for me at all. But I like the idea of the tiled home screen etc. Guess we'll wait and and see.

The only valid issue I see on the list is the battery issue. My battery didn't work great right out of the box either, mostly because I couldn't put the damn phone down. 
My wife commented that I had grown another appendage. Anyhow the battery life has gotten better, it has improved over time. With me tinkering less and the battery getting more full charges etc, it easily lasts me a whole day of my normal use.
"Normal" use will vary from person to person, and it's totally subjective.
As for the rest of your issues, I would suggest looking to the market and seeing what you can find. New apps are popping up every day.
Opera MINI is still in beta, it's not going to work perfect for ages.

power - menu, unlocks your device.
I wanted to use mine to hammer in nails but seemingly the case isn't strong enough.
I have emailed HTC to complain because I feel that it should have been clear before I bought the phone that I couldn't use it as a hammer.
Theres an app coming out to do that apparantly

Hahaha great thread.
Coming from Nokia myself I can think of a many many more things that are lacking on their best phones.
this.
i also have come to htc from nokia and there is so much i miss from my n96.
if nokia supported android.... -heaven-
I know that - mentioned it in my post. But those keys are on opposite ends of the device and the simple menu - menu double press of the Hero worked a lot better for me.

Waaay better news apps in the market, leave the HTC one alone
Supposedly coming in 2.2
eww, use a good browser like the default one, or Dolphin HD
For most of the rest, I'm still adamant that if you need to connect your phone to your PC to sync, your using it wrong
