I'm just not happy with the operating system at all. My previous phone was a blackberry storm, and i loved the phone. My blackberry malfunctioned the day before the X came out. A verizon salesperson told me to wait and get the X the next day, because it was suppose to be "the new great phone". I purchased the X and haven't been happy since! .. I know verizon gives you a time limit to exchange the phone if you don't like it, but it takes me a while to get used to a device, so i gave it to much time and effort, and still is disstassified. The day after i got the phone, i gently dropped it by accident and the screen cracked. I dropped my storm numerous, harder times with no problems at all, i have even dropped it on concrete. My X was dropped on a cushioned carpet and cracked instantly. This happened in Sept, it is now January and i am still putting up with the cracked screen because i refuse to pay the $90 deductible towards a new phone, which I greatly dislike.
Back to your question about why i dislike the product. I have all of these applications that came with the phone that are impossible to delete, they just sit on my screen and take up space, though that isn't a huge issue to some people, i am a suffer of OCD and it irrates me. As for the system itself, i am extremely disstassified. I feel as if i have to get through may loop holes to get my desired result. The phone isn't complicating to work, but rather a nussiance.
Also, I am a graduate student in college I rely heavily on my college e-mail. The X doesn't not work with my e-mail easily such as Blackberry etc., For me to get my e-mail to work, I have to go to the ITS department at my college and have them put in the correct portal information, which is absolutely uncalled for, nor do i have time for that.
I am sorry to say but most of your issues appear to be because of youe limited knownledge of the phone and os because most of the things you reported as a issue could be easily resolved.

There isnt any apps that is required to stay on your screen all the time, all items can be grabbed and dragged to the recycle bin to remove them of the desktop.

The menus can be customized and quick launch shortcuts can ve easily added to desktio for quick access so it only takes one click to open a required task.

Configuring most email accounts isnt that complex but some servers restrictions cause additional settings because of the restrictions that the IT and corporation deportment have chose to configure... The only reason Blackberry handles this a little easier is because you do not configure device to connect directly to the corp server but through Blackberrys on dedicated server. You could have configured the email client to send emails through Googles server in the same manner that BB does, if you chose not to do this of your IT department doesnt have knowledge to do this does not totally make it Android fault.

One thing to concider that BB have a plastic based screens compared to the newer devices that use glass, of course glass can be damaged easier that a plastic based screen... I am really suprised that it broke on a carpet when users have crushed there device amd the glass have survived without issues.

Paying a 90.00 to have a 600.00 device after having physical damage is not unfair because the damage was not caused from manufacture flaw, I have gad me device without a case and haven't had any issue with the glass so much as being scratched.

If you was unhappy from day one and you chose not to return the device before the 30 day period how can you see this to be Verizon's or the devices issue?
With all said and done the device isn't the issue but the method you chose to handle your purchase,
