#1 I have a 60GB version (SCEA began the PS3 series with the 60 and the 20 models) and the PS3 starts up as a player if a BD or a DVD is inserted. Mine was firmware 1.0 when I bought it, but I don't recall if it did this from the start. Perhaps one of the firmware updates allowed it to act as you prefer.
#2 Bluetooth is the future (I know you hate reading that) and I'm sure manufacturers will eventually release (hybrid) remotes to use with the PS3. I do understand your situation, as many have commented on no IR control for the PS3. There are work-arounds for this (the USB ports support past IR remotes via the PS2 add-on), but allowing IR use, even if just for Blu-ray and DVD playback, would have made many people happy.
#3 Tray vs slot? I'd prefer a top-loader, but the price-point would have really been missed if they did this. The tractor-drive slot works rather well, though.
#4 Right now the PS3 will decode Dolby TrueHD and pass it via HDMI as PCM. It will also decode and send it as 8 channels (if the disc was encoded with 8 channels of audio): there are some players that will only give you 6 channels. As for DTS, I believe SCEA will issue a firmware update after the PS3 is made Profile 2.0 compliant (profile support seems to be highest on their list of priorities) to give it the capability of decoding DTS-HD Master Audio and sending it as PCM via HDMI. The only way I see this as not happening is if there isn't enough processing power left over, which I don't believe will be the case.
