When you get to Froyo, you'll find that many of those points of the Android system have been addressed. The devices weren't really popular until Éclair 2.1, where most of the basic functionalities are mastered and a design wave sparked. I have a great user experience with Android, better than the one I got with iOS.
Android 2.0 wasn't made for tablets, nor for powerhorse smartphones. It was made for an older generation of smartphones which didn't count with the capabilities of the current hardware, and (something important in the Open Source world) the system wasn't as popular as it is now, so people were not as engaged in improving it. The fact that companies (included PB) have rushed the use of Android (which I don't have a problem with) in order to compete doesn't make Android less valid.
In a way, it's like condemning Windows as a whole because you're unsatisfied with a cheap netbook running Windows 98.
