I installed iOS 5 GM last night, and am a little confused now that I have had time to really explore it today. I remember reading some articles about all the features found in the betas, and I don't see everything here.

Where is the option to flash the LED for notifications?
Where is the option to make your own vibration patterns? (I think I saw a video of this)
Why the hell didn't they make notifications stay on the lock screen as long as they are in the notification center? (I believe this shortcoming was in the betas... but I was hoping they'd change it).

On a good note, text messages now vibrate twice fast, while all other notifications do one vibration... Also, the reminders app reminded me to go to the store on my way home from work today. And I love the notifications on the lockscreen when they ARE there. Wish at least the calendar events for the day would stay there.

I agree, its annoying that you can't access the notification screen when its locked.

Both are in the Accessibility settings and have been since the first iOS 5 beta.
