1.1.3 the most glitchy apple firmware?

Talk about bugs - when I hold down an icon, it starts to move around, like its getting jiggy with itself. This has to be the mother of all bugs! 
I have had Safari just stop and then close on me. It has only done it once, so I have no idea what happened, but browsing the same site prior to the 1.1.3 OS, this didn't happen to me.
I have also experienced the odd SMS behavior of my reply showing up before the text sent by the other party. Very strange and annoying.
My concern is that as history as a guide, we won't see a fix to this for several months. That doesn't make me feel so good...

Well that's strange because I share my 3G internet via my macbook to my 1.1.2 iPhone and it works perfectly well.
I haven't had any troubles at all. It seems my battery even lasts longer, although this may just be my imagination. I love the ability to move around apps, and my google maps is great.
Contacts not syncing properly in 1.1.3
Since upgrading to 1.1.3, my Contacts will not sync properly. I have over 1500 contacts on my laptop, but only 535 on my iPhone now. After our system engineer spent over 2 hours on the phone with Apple tech support on Friday (1/18/08), no solution found. Tried resets, restores, forced syncing, etc. Nothing worked. My colleague also has this problem since upgrading to 1.1.3. The problem has been escalated at Apple, but still no resolution. Apple tech stated that it was a "known issue" with 1.1.3 but they did not have a solution.
Anyone else having this problem and does anyone have a solution.

The only problems I have come across so far is the wi-fi won't connect to my home network sometimes, and I have to restart the iPhone to get it to work.
I also have noticed podcasts crashing quite a bit.

My wifes OTB 1.1.2 had similar issues after upgrading to 1.1.3
She didn't have near as many contacts as you list, but the issue is similar.
She could only get about 40 of her 100+ contacts to sync.
Mid way through the sync process, the phone would reboot for no reason.
Part of her issue was the pics she used for her Contacts were too big.
I resized them to the iPhone's native resolution and then wiped and re synced all of her contacts and the crashing stopped and all of her contacts will now sync.
If you assigned pics to your contacts on your laptop, double check their size and type. Turns out that 1.1.3 does not like gifs and bmps as contact pics.
yes, my mail freezes all the time with 1.1.3. also, after reading thru my messages, the red new mail indicator does not go away like it use too...
other little problems i am experiencing w/ the 1.1.3 are my signal goes from five bars to zero quite often, which leads to phone calls being dropped, the "E" flashes in and out, and my contacts don't sync correctly (it syncs only the name but not the phone no. and address), and my sms messages are out of order.....yikes
i do like the multi-text message though...
The one glitch that has me in fits is Mail's inability to download some HTML emails. You can click on the download button but nothing happens.
No not yet what info do you lose when you do a full restore? do you keep received and made calls and texts etc?
You lose received calls, made calls, and texts. You don't lose voicemails though.
Perfectly fine update for me. I use bluetooth w/the Apple Bluetooth, I use wifi and have had no shutdowns, glitches or problems. I had one hang call that froze the screen, did a reset and all works perfect...at the time I had the Flash Drive almost full (only 200mb free). Once I did the reset, i made sure I had over 700mb free and have not had another problem since.
Hope the rest of you figure out your issues and get up and crankin!

thanks for that.
shame about the texts could do with keeping them! oh well if it keeps playing up will have to sort itI notice that even after several full restores, this update hurts my battery life much more than 1.1.2. If the phone is completely charged before I go to bed (bluetooth and wifi turned off), its down to about a 60% charge 7 hours later.
Looking in the Apple Discussion forum, it appears others are having this same issue with the update.

My battery life is about the same. After recharging my battery last night and unplugging it about 4PM last night, my battery indicator still shows a completly full battery. I go about three days between charges.
Most glitchy firmware update for me by far (never had the below issues before this update):
1) Bluetooth disconnects from my car kit on a daily basis
2) Black screen when home button is pressed
3) Wifi disconnect issues
4) And the strangest glitch of all: the other day, I missed a call, and when I went to my call log, it showed the last number I had dialed in the form of a contact file, but with the Missed/All tab at the top. No matter what I did, I couldn't get it to get out of that screen... until, of course, I rebooted.
Five of my friends are all experiencing 1, 2, 3 above by the way.. so I don't believe this to be an isolated incident.
1.1.4 couldn't come any faster for me...
