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).

I've had similar problems with "missed call messages". One might be listening to netcasts. Message arrives in one's short absence (or a call attempt). Nothing visible. Go to bead. X out the netcast and other windows and a "missed call yellow screen" appears next day. The notification is far too late to be useful. It should be on the top of the screen. Immediately.

If you not noticed this try to change theme or reflash your device
Last but not least, buying an N900 and don't install any app is like having a ferrari without whell
EDIT: i want quote mikeallen, don't know why it quotes cfh11

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.

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.
