As a very off-hand comment, all I could think of when reading your post was "You're doing it wrong", despite doing a flashdance. :P ANYWAY...

I ran Task 29.

Changes in first boot:
-No white screen on calibration
-No bar under appointment bar, but the notification icons still don't work.
(Yes, this does mean all other points previously listed still apply.)

Changes in second boot:
-Still no bar under the appointpents, but hitting the physical 'home' button in an application now locks up the sense UI by putting it on an application list with no way out other than rebooting. I can't access any menu except ArkSwitch and Slide2Shutdown.
-Everything else still applies.

Third boot and on:
-Same as above, except that the crash will now occasionally happen on the home screen, too.
