OK been playing for couple hours now few questions.
It shows I have signal, but not if its 3G, E etc. Anyway to change this?
The message program is pathetic, is there anyway of making it let me know I've got a message, rather than a little tiny icon in the corner?

It does. It says g for GPRS, e for edge and h for hspda?
And eh? I don't understand your issue with the message icon, its perfect and its how its done on pretty much every other phone os other than iOS, its always on the screen and visible. The badges in iOS are s**t because you have to scroll to the page that contains the app icon to see it.
If it bothers you that much then buy and install light flow, it won't fix that "issue" but you can set up the led to flash in a specific way and colour when you get a text message and many many many other things.

Have a look for dash clock. You can customize it so you can have messages, email, clock, watsap, weather etc on your lock screen. You can they jump straight to the message from there.
Not sure on screen shot. Maybe lock and bottom volume button at same time? That's the way on my samsung nexus
Screenshot of the lock screen. No messages or emails on it but when I have one they show under the time.

As said previously, Dash clock widget will do what you require

Then do yourself a favour and get Lightflow.
I don't understand the issue, help me please!
When you get an SMS message or email the notification area on the phone swizzles round to tell you what has happened, from then on in you get an icon in there telling you that you've got an unread SMS or email. Once you've dealt with the notification they go away.
You can swipe down the screen to reveal the notification tray, things that have happened will appear there nice and big.
It works exactly like it does in iOS, except better because there are icons in the tray which tell you what has happened, you don't have to hunt through pages of apps to find a badge.
Besides, if you install Lightflow you can get the led to tell you what is happening without having to turn on the phone...no service, make the led flash red, got a text make it pulse yellow, got an email make it.... You don't even need to turn the screen on.
Install dash clock and when the phone is locked, swipe all the way to the left until you see the big "+", press it and then add the dash clock widget. Then your clock will be the dash clock widget which allows you to display other information like upcoming calendar, number of sms messages waiting and emails etc.

Find an app that gives you similar functionality. There must be one.

I'm assuming as hes moved from iOS that he wants more persistant/obvious/detailed/whatever lock screen notifications.

Another one for the lockscreen, as for the passcode being required immediately i think you'll need another app.

You can set chomp sms to do display who message's are from on the lock screen and set to display just the name or the whole message. Think you still have to unlock to reply but that's a good thing imo.

Like I mentioned. You'll need another app.
I think I might have sorted everything
One more for you, how about scrolling to the top of a webpage when the top of the screen is pressed?
That is one feature that I do miss from iOS. The top scroll. No, android doesn't have it and it really should.

Are these worth getting? I just managed to get out of a 24 month iPhone contract 18 months early and thinking of a stop gap until they release the 5s or whatever. Never had an Android phone either.

I've had it 3 days, but my initial thoughts are wouldn't bother coming from a iPhone 4s, seams to do some things great, but the basics the iPhone does better IMO. But if you're like me and fancied a change after 3 years of iOS go for it.
