I have recently upgraded from the Samsung Blackjack 1 (WM5) to the Samsung Propel Pro (WM 6.1) and I am experiencing the same shortfall in both phones.  

What the issue for me is is this;
The top alert bar (regardless of the home screen selected) is always the same, it has the '3G' indicator, signal and battery strength, the Bluetooth symbol, the headset indicator, mute, new text message, new email message, and missed call and voicemail icons along the top row of the screen.   Why is it that some of these icons override each other?   The bluetooth symbol is overwritten on the screen if there is a new text message or a new email message.  The 'silent' icon is overwritten if there is a headset connected.  It seems to me there are enough pixels across to allow for each and every one of those symbols to exist simultaneously across the top row if they're all called for.  

The space between the bluetooth/message icon allocated space and the '3G' is more than enough to contain another symbol, and the space between the '3G' and the silent/headset symbol is also wide enough to contain another symbol.  Why are those spaces and the space left of the bluetooth/message space completely ignored and unused?

Is there a way to specify a location of those symbols somehow?  I've seen plenty of customization threads out there (and even did my own custom color scheme .XML file for the Blackjack a couple years back) but never anything to allow all those symbols to be shown clearly at the same time if needed.  

Please, any help to accomplish this would be greatly appreciated.  Or even good solid reasons why this can't be done would be helpful to me!  ;-)
