Sorting Apps - Other Wishlists - Few Gripes

Question

This is my first smartphone, 10 days now on Fascinate and its been good.
I'm an IT network admin, so I'm used to apps and new issues, tech savy person.
Using lookout for antivirus.  Seems ok.
I do wish I could organize my apps,  like a games folder, then custom make other folders etc.  You can't sort apps in icons, only list view.  ick
I wish I could sort my contact lists better,   why can't I add my FB/Gmail family members in the groups section either.
I don't feel like duplicating all my contacts just to get people better organized in groups. 
Had to buy a app to sync my yahoo contacts. ick
I can't syn my yahoo calender, so had to export to gmail instead.  (did I mention the yahoo app stinks)
Would love to rename some apps.   Like the corporate email icon for exchange.
Why can't there be seperate login profiles, so my family can use it also and have their own settings.
Can't video chat or stream live video, tried QIK app, no luck.
I've had several screen blackouts/lockups, especially when working it hard, let it sit for a min, it comes back, then I reboot cause things are so slow to respond, not sure whats going on.
The screen will get all screwed up once in a while, especially while doing a search, the search box jumbles up on top of things, can't read the text, have to turn left, then sideways etc, then go back button then reenter the search or app it was in.
Have you noticed that when you have it plugged in the charger/usb, then full power down, you can't power it back on without unplugging the usb cable/charger first.   Weird.
My big gripe, when searching,  I have to retype the entire search string if I want to append a previous search, cause if I hit the ones I searched prior it goes directly to those search results.  frustrating.
Oh, when I change passwords on my apps that sync to 3rd party sites,  ie. gmail/exchange corp email
I haven't figured out where to update the new password, its not under settings or account settings  etc.
I had to remove the app/account and reinstall.  The notification error just says server error, you would thing it would let you retype the password.  I think this is more of a app issue, not a phone, regardless, tad annoying.
If anyone has anything similiar, let me know.
ps. got my bill today, lovely
59.99 + 29.99 + 9.99 = $100 a month.    The salesman never mentioned the 9.99 a month data requirement.
If you go evo comparable plans  69.99 + 9.99 = $80 a month.
So I'm paying an extra $20 for nothing, could get the same Samsung AMOLED phone at that other place.   Has anyone else considered this?
Thanks,
John

I know this is a little old, but there are some things on here I can clarify.

you don't need an antivirus, android has few viri out there, and just like the computer world, most of them are obvious
I do wish I could organize my apps,  like a games folder, then custom make other folders etc.  You can't sort apps in icons, only list view.  ick
you can add folders to your homw screen as a function of touchwiz, long press on your home screen, then touch folders, then create folder. you can rename it by long pressing on the title bar while the folder is open

I'm not certain, since IMO, it's pointless to have my facebook friends in my contacts list, but playing with the contacts app might fix this. also, just try getting the facebook app, it might better sort things for you.

this is not possible currently, that I know of. there might be an app that lets you, but I doubt it.
Why can't there be seperate login profiles, so my family can use it also and have their own settings. 
it's not a computer, it's a phone. phones don't do multiple profiles. not in windows mobile, and not in linux (aka android)
Can't video chat or stream live video, tried QIK app, no luck.

try a hard reset, if that doesn't work, try a factory reset. also, check your settings, all of them, and look for anything out of the ordinary.
The screen will get all screwed up once in a while, especially while doing a search, the search box jumbles up on top of things, can't read the text, have to turn left, then sideways etc, then go back button then reenter the search or app it was in.
don't use bing. it's a crap app. use google search. you can use everything google on your phone, it just won't call it up using the search button.
Have you noticed that when you have it plugged in the charger/usb, then full power down, you can't power it back on without unplugging the usb cable/charger first.   Weird.
no, I haven't noticed this, though I have noticed while it's plugged in, it's picky about when it lets you power on the phone. for example, if it's plugged in, and you shut off the phone, you have to wait until it's been charging for a couple seconds before it will let you start it up. maybe this is what you are seeing?
My big gripe, when searching,  I have to retype the entire search string if I want to append a previous search, cause if I hit the ones I searched prior it goes directly to those search results.  frustrating.
this is the way the code is written. it also frustrates me, but  there's no way to change it, and it's an android thing.
Oh, when I change passwords on my apps that sync to 3rd party sites,  ie. gmail/exchange corp email
I haven't figured out where to update the new password, its not under settings or account settings  etc.
