Certainly doesn't seem like a bug, I've never seen that odd behavior on my phone after an update.
Have restored it a few times, with no luck... oh well, I've learned to live with it. Hopefully my iPhone 4 won't have this issue, although I might not be able to make a call on it by the sounds of it!
This morning I had a problem. Updated 12 apps. I spent some time last night after recieving the iPhone 4, filing apps away in folders. When I updated the 12 apps this morning (most in folders) the folders were gone. Apps all thrown out of them. AND I had ousted the ipod app in favor of sms in the bar...it was swapped. any ideas?
Subtle changes in iOS 4
Apple has made a big deal of many new features in iOS 4: Multitasking, Backgrounds, Folders, iBooks, etc. But some features, and general changes, they have said nothing about. Here is a list, nowhere near complete, of "hidden" changes. Feel free to add your own.
1) Airplane mode
2) Text passcodes
3) Lock screen background changes to current song if iPod controls are up, regardless of playing status.
4) Mac-style 3D Dock
5) Spotlight Search the web and Wikipedia
6) New Calculator app icon
7) Shuffle button in album track listing
8) "Find Me" button in Maps app is now a triangle-like concave quadrangle, not a circle.
9) Triangle shape described above appears in menu bar during location-finding
10) Autofill passwords (MAY have been in 3.0, but I don't think so)
11) Search Bing
12) In app store, a "+" appears next to apps that also come in an iPad version
There are probably many, many more. Apple said there are 100+ new features. If you find more, please post a reply.

Group Messaging
The "group messaging" feature allows you to see the phone numbers of all recipients of a mass SMS that you recieved and allows you to see the responses between the original sender and the other recipients, and even allows you to join in their SMS conversation

If you want to pause the Audio on the face time call press the mute button.
But if you want to Pause the VIDEO on the facetime call press the Home button. The audio will still be there unless you muted that as well, but the video will pause and will say so on the other device as well.
