well, i think that its still okay to download it. i have a 3gs and i think it slowed down a bit, but still tolerable. the added features are great and useful
Wow
There are many reports online of iOS5 being unstable.
A quick google search of such proves the cases are widespread.
I myself had many issues with the upgrade with several failed upgrade attempts on my 4th gen iPod and I must admit that I too have had several issues where especially plants vs zombies has crashed since and video issues are abound.
Yes I shut the system off several times and yes, this helped and those of you having issues, I would suggest you first try this if you have not already done so.
If that fails, backup the data properly that you require to and do a full system restore.

Won't restore my music and photos/texts
My iphone 4 was working perfectly until I did the upgrade. It refuses to let me restore saying error-36 and then that I am missing a file although not specifying which file (helpful not!) This means presumably that I will have to put all my music and photos back on there manually! In addition a years worth of texts have suddenly disappeared! The texts were there initially after the download and install but have suddenly disappeared Any constructive help appreciated!

I want to strongly advice [sic] against anyone considering listening to this clown.
iOS5 and now my phone's in RIP mode
2 weeks ago I updated my iphone 3gs. and just last week all of a sudden it has no network and lost the wifi too. what I did was I reboot it and then after that it reboot itself over and over til it drained the battery. i charged it and still it was rebooting automatically after a minute and so i have decided to put it into restore mode but everytime I restore it, error -1 occur. still now I dont know what to do. i am not sying ios5 is the sole reason for this but maybe somehow it has something to do with that. any solution to that error -1? thanks!
i miss my phone so bad.

Just to be sure, when you say restore mode, you meant DFU mode?
I too had resorted to restoring my 3Gs with iOS 5 from scratch due to a battery drain issue (which I eventually found a solution to) and just by clicking on the restore button on iTunes gave me errors. Had to resort to DFU mode to get it restored.
iPhone 4 upgrade to new version - - phone not working
I am having a problem with the new version. I bought iphone 4 in France. I have been using a jailbreak sim since I arrived in the US to use it with T-Mobile. It worked fine until I updated to the new version. Now I cannot do anything with it, not even use the apps. It stops in the process of installing the new version... Please help!!

Have you tried starting from DFU mode and getting an AT&T sim?
In other news,
The negs keep coming!!! -333
Someone tried putting in an AT&T sim in my phone, did not change anything, but I guess it's because it is not an AT&T phone. What is the DFU mode?
DFU Mode...

That's right!!!
You were formerly Jailbroken. I think you stuck until they come out with a JB for iOS5. There is a tethered version but I could only image how complicated that's going to be.
-336 on the OP
I had issues when I first upgraded. Went to Verizon, restored, backup, problems continued. Went to APPLE Store genius bar. Diagnostics. Something on software when i restored to a previous backup. Had to set up as NEW.
But now it seems ok. Battery still isn't as long as the iPhone 4 but hopefully it will improve as the time and updates go on.
On a side note, battery alot better than my Droid I had prior to this!
