Hmmmm I'm gonna wait
I haven't had time to update to iCloud yet because I'm really busy (Even thought I'm on MacRumors!) but after reading this - I'm gonna hang on to MobileMe... I have some important projects I got to keep rolling! I can't afford to lose email at the moment... THanks for keeping us updated!
iOS5 has taken TOO long already!!!!

This is because iCloud transfers your contacts from a device to iCloud, not from MobileMe to iCloud. If none of your devices are compatible with iCloud, your information won't be transferred and your contacts on iCloud will be blank.
I don't know if it is just coincidence, but deleting and re-adding my iCloud account seemed to fix the issue of a rejected password (at least temporarily). It was initially set up as my @mac.com email but I deleted it and re-added it as the @me.com email.
Like I said, I'm not sure if that actually helps or is just coincidence but it worked for me.
Best of luck!

I migrated to iClous late last night, and it was actually a really smooth move. But, now I can't get my mail like everyone else is reporting. Fun.
Why? Tomorrow it will be fine and everyone can resume worshiping Apple again.
Keychain.
I'll cut them some slack for the next couple of days. Mostly I'm pissed about losing Keychain sync: that's innovation for you: "Provide less!"usually accompanied by "charge more!" I'm glad iCloud is "free"; but, I'd be willing to pay to keep all of the functionality of MobileMe.

For once, I would love to see a company's servers handle a new product launch or some other kind of demanding event. It always seems to blindside them. Maybe they just prepare them for a "typical" scenerio and don't worry too much about the day or two of peak load. I dunno, just an observation.
Same problem here. I also deleted the account, so I have no access to previous mails without digging down in the library folder...
Good Reason Not To Use Just One Cloud
This is a good reason not to just use one supplier for backing up your data to a cloud, be it Apples or Googles or some other third party that offers this service.
As we have witnessed the complete collapse of RIM servers over the week this is writing on the wall that eventually, regardless of the backup procedures companies have to minimize the impact it will eventually happen to them given unforeseen circumstance.

Incorrect Password as well
All morning long, deleted setup, followed iCloud support docs, still no go...frustrating, but I still support Apple 100%

It's random - works one minute and then it's asking for your password and rejecting it. Thought it might be keychain as that has always been a bit shaky but the iPad is having issues too. Oh well I don't get too many emails anyway and i'm sure they will fix it soon - especially as they don't want another MobileMe on their hands.
After checking it, I found that after I did a full "wired" sync, then the wi-fi syncing started to work.
Hi first post here,
I'm in Hong Kong and was on Mobile Me. I downloaded at release time (1am here) Transitioned to iCloud at 12pm here which took minutes. My iCloud service has been perfect across iPhone, Macbook and iMac throughout.
The reason I mention this is perhaps it is geo-specific? Higher uptake in the US?
Also people who have mentioned ITT they haven't had a problem seem to have previously been paying MobileMe people <generally>
FWIW I had two days of intermittent MobileMe service last week for the first time ever in >two years - I assumed it was part of the transitioning process?
Anyway it is a massive roll out with the UK getting 80% more bandwidth demands in places so perhaps that's part of it.
Hopefully it all works out in the next 24 hours.

buckers I'm right there with you... I feel as though I must have done something wrong because.... everything is working fine for me (I think). Still getting emails to my mobile me address. I updated and upgraded with no problem.
password reject
mine just worked, but it was rejecting the password all morning. I'm pretty sure I got it right.....

maybe I have a solution: check in Keychain that you have set the CRL certificate to "Best Attempt".
I had set it to "Off" because Mac App Store was slow under 10.7.1. Now it works, and Mail works too
