Here's something I'm not happy with:
To turn Bluetooth on, you still have to go to:
Settings>General>Bluetooth>On
That in itself sucks- why couldn't Apple have made a quicker way to activate Bluetooth?
What I don't like now, is that the 'Bluetooth' button used to be at the same level as 'General', so it just required 2 fast presses. Now, the 'Bluetooth' button is raised higher than the 'General' button, which requires you to look at the screen to find it after you press 'General'. I know, it's a little thing to complain about, but it's annoying when I need to activate Bluetooth every time I get in the car and I have to look at the screen (I didn't have to before). It was easier before- I could do it without looking.
I hope someone creates a Bluetooth App that will activate and deactivate with one push on your Homescreen.
I also have noticed a little bit more of a lag when accessing 'Settings', for example.
The new Apps are great though.

Firmware 2.0 works just fine now with reactivating your phone. Didn't install the early version of the 2.0 software yesterday...did the update through iTunes around 1:00am in the morning today and the thing worked as expected and reactivated my phone just fine.
I don't know how it'll work tomorrow in the middle of the day...but at least you know if that fails, it seems to work well in the early morning when traffic is low.

Had the same problem but it eventually went through and it all went through
Heck, I had the same long as weight for the "music/videos" wait and then the backup
Address book not syncing correctly now
I have noticed some of my contacts are not syncing to my iPhone now after the 2.0 update. I moved a few contacts to different categories on the MBP and after syncing the iPhone didn't show the change either.
Anyone else find this?

2.0 leaves a few things to be desired. Apps crash a lot. and My iPod Touch has crashed and restarted once. And it's really slow.
I've had 2.0 installed on my iPhone for over 24 hours and I haven't had any problems at all. The phone feels just as fast as before and the only application that has crashed is "Where", which is apparently pretty common.
I've spent most my time playing Texas Hold 'Em.

The only app that has ended and brought me back to the home screen is OmniFocus. Perhaps because of the database coming from their desktop Alpha release as that is the only release that can talk to OmniFocus on the iPhone. Otherwise, my iPhone is also just as before. It's completely solid.

Agreed as 2-3 apps are consistently crashing and the mp3 has 1-2 times as well
I think it is still a big upgrade in the right direction
Unlike others, I expect this initial release to be pretty buggy but I think a few updates will straighten things out
If you restore your iPod Touch/iPhone (iPod Touch in my case), The Crashes Will Stop.
I started from scratch and sometimes apps will just start to refuse to launch and I have to reboot.
Slow is right! I am waiting for things to come up that I never waited for before. Contacts are terribly slow and other times the screen is completely unresponsive for many seconds.
Also, batter life sucks with 2.0. I easily got almost two days on a full charge before and now I am close to dying before the end of the day! I am not doing that much more on the phone than I was before.
I think 2.0 sucks at battery life. I know I am late getting into this party but apart from reading nearly 1500 posts can anyone confirm the battery life thing? Maybe it is not just "3g" hardware that is using all the juice....Maybe it is the software. Apple you gotta fix this!!!!
2.0 Slowdown
My 1st Gen Iphone is quite slow at times. Screen tends to be very slow to respond to touch selections and flicking/rolling through screens. Otherwise I have not had any crash experiences. Knock on wood....

Not digging 2.0.... very sluggish touch response and freezing.
Yes, I am running the "official" version.
Not a happy camper.

Agreed, I mentioned this to a guy in line for the 3G this weekend and he disagreed saying his was quicker and snappier. Not my experience at all. Frequent pauses and delays in touches and flicking.
Hopes this resolves soon.
