There are a few things that have doubled the effort for no real reason. I would hope that a list could be made so that someone would take notice.

Car / dock mode
-give us the exit button back and once exited home button takes us back to the actual home screen.
-phone dialer, give us a button for all contacts not recent

Music
-just take us to the list and make recent a filter above the list
Gallery
-tiles our our friend
-folders our our friend
Screen transitions
- pretty is nice but speed is nicer. Allow us to turn off the transition effects
4g
-give us an icon to toggle that we can have on our home screen. I live on the edge of 4g and it constantly drops, settings route is ok but make it easy for us

Im sure there are more so list em
 
Google search; once the text box is full it doesn't scroll over so i can't see what i'm typing.

Text Convos scrolling to first text; If i'm in a text convo and switch the phone oriantation from veritical to horizontal or vice versa it scrolls to the first text in the convo. I either have to scroll all the way back to the bottom or exit text messaging and reopen.

Browser windows; can't close the first window. Would like to be able to close all windows.

Contacts bug; twice i've saved a contact but have it not actually save. Have saved many of contacts the first time though.

Turning on after dead battery; I let the battery die once. I plugged it in to charge, about two hours later I tried to turn the phone on. It wouldn't turn on. Reset battery and came right on with almost full charge.

Although this is exactly what im asking for in this thread, may i suggest dolphin hd for your browser and handcent for your text. I will say the stock text is alot better than the stock on droid 1 but i got so used to handcent that it may be worthwhile to checkout. The main reason i switched was the droid 1 default text coulndt send and receive contacts...no idea if this stock one can though.

Give us back the birthday and anniversary fields in the contact information that we use to have in previous droids

Fix the bug so we can dock or connect to Hdmi with oit disabeling the auto dim or backlight feature.

Fix this stupid keyboard. It works ok in portrate orientation but has a mind of its own in landscape mode

Give us a camera that does not take 4seconds to fire the shutter.
