I don't observe a change of colour - but that is an aside. The key issue to me is that there is no top of page notification. I am not cooling for colour changes or any fancy stuff. Just basic notification working, out of the box.
I'd might be happier to buy fancy wheels for the "ferrari" if the steering wheel didn't keep falling off. When the steering wheel keeps falling off I loose confidence in the car and the company.
When i update the software i noticed some problems in windows managment caused by theme corrupted. Please try do switch for a moment to another theme and then re-set yours. It could be helpful for some things. It takes less than a minute.
BTW im not sure on what you mean with " The key issue to me is that there is no top of page notification". What you want exactly?

It doesn't appear to me to be anything to do with the service provider - the date and time of the SMS (alert message) is spot on. The problem is that the N900 is not presenting the message in a timely and "emphasis of matter critical" mode.

I'll just say one thing and leave this alone:
People here are trying to help you. There's absolutely no point in posting something like this if you're just going to wave people's solutions away. Just saying it should be included in the device won't magically make it happen.
Applications in Maemo Extras or Ovi have a very little chance of messing up your device; it's only -testing and -devel that you need to worry about.
Just approach ideas with an open mind.
(After all, these days, "apps" are what set smartphones away from feature phones/dumbphones.)

If you are away from your phone and come back and look at messages there is no evidence of a message.

Ok, ONE LAST TIME. Here are 4 ways you are notified of a new message:

Regarding notifications, the light blinks blue, there is a notification on the lock screen telling you that there is a message/email/missed call and how many, AND there is the yellow "card" that pops up in the dashboard (which will lead you right to the message if you click on it).
Hmmm.. apparently you didn't read this. In addition to those other 3, the task switcher icon in the upper left corner also glows when there is a notification.

I don't encounter these problems with PR1.2. You probably just have a bad phone. Get it replaced.
BTW, the official N900 website is quite clear about how the conversations work (http://maemo.nokia.com/features/conversations/) - it shouldn't be a surprise that messages are "hidden" in a conversation.
The website you link to is irrelevant. If you have been out of the room and you return and look at your phone, the fact that you have received a new message should be "screaming in your face" with one of those "yellow notes" when you access the device.

By "top of page" notification I mean if I stroke the screen and slide the bar, if I get an SMS yellow notification to give me or lead me to the missed message(s) - same of I press the on/off button to wake up the device. ie if I mess with the device after returning to the phone it tells me about missed calls, sms etc
