Oh, finally!

I recently saw that android phones have shortcuts for important/frequently-used settings e.g. wifi, hotspot. at the top of notification screen, so you can just drag the screen down and quickly make the changes. In iPhone if you have to switch on or off your cellular data, you have to go through 3-4 screens.

edit: ok, it has limited but important set of shortcuts which does not include cellular data

Only some Android phones have that (it's part of the Touchwiz skin), or it is a feature available in CM7. I'm on an ICS rom right now and I miss the notification shade toggles.

Fortunately we still have first rate widgets, so I can have the Power Control widget, or single option toggles as widgets on my homescreen.

Even without CM7 or Touchwiz, you can still already create shortcuts on your home screens to specific pages in the Android Settings application. When you long press on the home screen, select Shortcut from the Add list, and then Settings, and it will give you a nice long list of every screen in the Settings app to choose from.

My personal favorite is a link to the Battery Use screen, which allows me to quickly see what apps may have drained my battery the most.
