Honestly, I hated the idea of not having widgets and a custom lock screen. But within a few days I totally forgot about the widgets and with iOS 5, the lock screen has everything that I want. I personally never used Swype more than a couple of times and didn't really care for it. And I never use my phone as a navigation device, so I can't relate there either. It looks like, considering all that you are demanding of the device, you may be better off with something else.

I find it ironic that you think the iPhone is less business than Android. There are a ton more business and utilities apps for the iPhone than there are for Android. And iPhone/iPad has exclusive apps, like the (free) VMware vCenter app that lets me remotely manage and control all of my VMs at work, on all three physical hosts. Don't get me wrong, I believe that the majority of iPhone users are using for it's ease of use and entertainment purposes, but there are plenty of high end, tech savvy, business apps that are out there for the power users like me.
