6. SMS and Email are lumped together
7. Weather takes up the whole screen instead of just being part of the Home Screen whether you are looking at current conditions or a 5-day forecast. Weather is like time, it should be something you can quickly glance at on the home screen.
8. No way to add/remove or reorder the selections at the bottom

Isn't it great to be American? You have the freedom of choice!

3. No lock screen

Start > Settings > System > Long Press End Key

You can set it to lock your phone, no 3rd party app necessary

4. Home screen provides little 'at a glance' information due to big clock taking up too much room. It limits you to only 2 or 3 lines of appointments even in collapsed clock view.

That's your own personal preference really. Personally, I don't want a lot of stuff cluttering up my wallpaper of Jessica Alba But for users like yourself, you CAN just disable it.

5. The photo flipping is gimicky. In the Contact manager, it looks great, but is only practical if you have 3 or fewer favorite people. You might use photo flipping to show off the phone, but for all practicality, when you actually want to call someone the slider is better.

So just remove it then? See below

6. SMS and Email are lumped together

How so? Last time I checked there is a separate icon for sms and email? Am I not understanding the question? I select SMS for SMS and Email for Email. I must be missing something..

7. Weather takes up the whole screen instead of just being part of the Home Screen whether you are looking at current conditions or a 5-day forecast. Weather is like time, it should be something you can quickly glance at on the home screen.

Again, personal preference. I don't want to know the weather for 5 different surrounding cities/counties and I sure as heck don't want this cluttering up my homescreen. But I understand that it is useful/wanted for some people...

8. No way to add/remove or reorder the selections at the bottom

Sure there is...I organized mine and you can add delete tabs that you don't want/need. Check out this tutorial...

I rearranged the order of the bottom row to stuff I use more often than not.

Like other users have said, to each his own. For me, using TF3D is practical and I like it...
