Yes, I had exactly the same. I did another restore and then only transferred selected songs at a time. ie. didn't set 1 transfer going and then add to it. All ok now.
Got a tip for us?

I've witnessed most of the bugs already listed.. but my biggest issue is the battery life. Huge difference from 4.3.3, I run through 80% in just 9 hours of use through the day with a couple phone calls and 3G data use. I normally would be at 75% remianing after 9 hours before.
I do not believe this to be a bug, as if you click the Newsstand icon, it unfolds just like a folder and not like an app. It is my belief that Newsstand is simply a specialized folder.
Its not an app. When U go into SMS and someone has iOS 5 the send button will turn blue. That's how U know ur in iMessage.
Re:
I'm having a huge problem with the Batterylife in iOS5. It's drained in about a 6-7 hours, where 4.3.3 would leave me back with around 50-60% battery at moderate or much use.
As mentioned, the integrated wallpaper-list isnt showing (that's sad, i was hoping to get a grip of that fine iOS5 booting "iphone" wallpaper, when you slide it to set it up)
Besides, i have a serious problem with crashing apps. Especially Facebook, searching for earlier conversations in the integrated message App. etc.
- i presume it's because they're not updated and optimized for iOS5 (the downloaded-from-appstore-apps), or could it be the RAM-glitch some users are speaking of?
- Belle
Ps. since i'm not an developer but got my UDID registered - will there then be any risk of reporting these bugs to apple?

Mail Days To Sync "No Limit" Option Gone
I have an exchange type mail account set up for GMail. Under Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > [Exchange Account] > Mail Days to Sync the "No Limit" option is gone and the max time is 1 month now. This is problematic as I have a mail folder full of older licenses and keys I need, and trying to either push the folder or manually refresh does not pull down anything older than 1 month. How do I get emails older than 1 month?

Its a beta; give the app makers time to update their apps. I've actually been impressed this time with how many apps continue to work fine in this beta; previous betas broke many of the apps I regularly use.
And yes I would report the bugs you find; chances are there are so many people testing this that they have already been reported (not to mention people at Apple who actually know what they're doing are testing it much more effectively than us), so if you don't feel like doing so it isn't going to hurt anything. Apple releases the betas more so for developers to start updating their apps than to get bug reports (not that reports aren't useful, but you know what I mean). I wouldn't worry about Apple hunting you down; if you had anything to worry about, I doubt it would have been a good idea to have posted here saying you're running it. You'll be fine...
You can chalk all of this up to early beta status. I expect speed and battery life to improve greatly as the beta cycle continues.
As for your third point (the Notification Center checking your location constantly and draining battery), to solve this I simply disabled location services for the Weather app. This causes the Notification Center to default to showing the first location in the Weather app. Certainly hope this helps battery life!
Also, on a side note, I just discovered you can scroll left or right on the weather widget in Notification Center to show the forecast. Cool!
my ip4 is choking on animations, apps startup is 2-3x slower then on 4.3, sometimes messages.app is starting few seconds + there are notification graphical glitches, for example when you make a call from lock-screen, and after that you go to phone.app - for fraction of seconds you can see "calling screen" - which sometimes is suprising
from my experience beta3 is the relese that can be relatively save to use. Beta1 is really for developers + hero-users
I have seen this both mornings with my recurring alarm.
To the person who mentioned Facebook above, I think I had similar problems on 4.3, I think the app itself has just taken a nosedive.
on Videos when accessing a comp through home sharing, the screenshot previews are jumbled up, but they seem to still access the correct video by title.
Not a bug, but I don't see a reason for the ipod app to be split up like it has been on the touch.
Newsstand needs to be optional, or at least be able to be put into a folder.
Would be nice to have the option to log into the new icloud mail service from a non ios device, but they don't give a password and there is no where to set it up any further. Probably not a bug but a symptom of the implementation not being fully baked on other devices.
No built in wallpapers as others have mentioned.
Impacted, but not severely so, battery life.
No issues with calls or service yet.
Probably not a bug, but doesn't it just feel like quick reply to text should be in there?
Quite impressed. I don't want to start a war with saying this, but it's more stable and smooth than several "official" android builds I have played with (admittedly not stock, but carrier/manufacturer skinned).
Also noticed most of those are not bugs, just complaints. Sorry!
Not sure if this is a bug or just an abnormality:
Add a photo from camera roll to an album. Photo remains in camera roll as well as album. Delete photo from camera roll and it deletes it from the album.
Now if you ask me if you add a photo from the camera roll it should move it out of the camera roll, not keep it in both spots and then delete both when you delete the camera roll one.

Two things
When I set a geofence for a reminder, the location arrow stays on permanently. With this I mean both that I would think it should poll your position every x minutes and even if I turn off the geofence, close the app, even kill the app, the location arrow stays in the status bar. The obvious result of this is that the battery gets crushed in like 4 hours, with also light usage of the phone
Does this happen for anyone else?

multiple inboxes
Having multiple inboxes to mobileme account- both iPhone 4 & iPad 2
Facetime is crashing a bunch, and very laggy video on iPad2
Failing iMessage activation was fixed by restarting iPad 2.
No location based reminders--
Reminders also not reminding at the appointed time

Delete the mobile me account from mail, contacts and calendars then re-add it
Check which account you are placing the reminders against, location only works on iCloud accounts.
The 3G battery issue forced me to rollback to 4.3.3
Stuck the phone in DFU mode and restored. No issues encountered and no errors. Working fine and battery isn't draining like mad.
IPhone 4 and iPad 2 battery life is unchanged from 4.3 even with location based reminders active.

Yes mine too, but it makes sense. For the app to function as promised, it would have to stay on continuously to be accurate. The feature is useful and will drain your battery. Don't use the feature.
Separately, has anyone been receiving banner notifications from 3rd party apps yet? I haven't. Is this because it requires additional coding/app update for them to use the new banner feature?
