I dunno. I like Facebook integration. I decided to leave FB contacts on and took about an hours to link FB contacts that didn't auto link. Hopefully iCloud will remember the Links and back them up for future restores and upgrades.
Got a tip for us?

I think the beta 1 for iOS 5 was MUCH worse. Geez, I couldn't even create a calendar event without it crashing. It would hang for 2-3 minutes and then crash. On the iPad, even entering the Calendar app would cause the app to crash.
Many of the apps I commonly used (like HBOGo and Netflix among others) wouldn't even load on the betas for 5. These apps work perfectly on iOS 6 for me.
No, I think this first version is far and away more stable. I'm using it on my primary device.
Pretty sure this was a known issue from the release notes, but I also saw that when I was looking through the App Store.
MY maps app crashed everytime i touched the search bar last night. but I woke up this morning and it works flawlessly. I have no idea what fixed it over night. All i did was let it charge.
One thing I did differently today was turn the maps into landscape mode for the first time today and then tried to search, that's when it worked properly for the first time
Odd! Landscape maps wasn't working for earlier, now it is.
Edit: It crashed. Its a bug.
Behaves like that on 2.4GHz, but works fine on 5GHz and tethering.
Beta OS, not for live, production devices. Known issue, I'm not sure ALL have that issue, but many people do.
Didnt work for me
Yeah, it is really odd. I did notice that in the settings where it reports beta bugs, I had a full list of map crashes. Maybe apple takes that into account and silently rolls out fixes. Cause not one thing had been done to my phone and I woke up and I have had no issues today.
So maybe you should just keep purposefully crashing maps and it will flag apple...
Why do people keep pointing this out? Do you know the reason that they release these betas? It's so that devs can test their apps with the new API's. If the app uses the web (which a huge number do) then the beta is worthless since I can't test the app (if you will recall from just a few sentences ago that is the purpose of the betas).
People understand that there are bugs in betas, but when the bugs fly in the face of the whole point it's worthwhile to point out and ask for solutions.
I found afew bugs, while in call i had an incident where my phone locked up like it was frozen in a reboot state. When i went to reset it it loaded back to the call and was still connected. also my bluetooth on every call i make is reset to the lowest volume posible and i must turn it up every time.

If you're a developer and have an issue with the beta iOS you shouldn't be posting that here. Nobody on this forum can fix it. You submit it to Apple.
I think the point is that a lot of people who are not developers are installing the beta version and then complaining that a bunch of things are not working and Apple suck this and that, and additionally going on the App Store and leaving bad reviews for apps that don't work yet on the beta. This becomes frustrating after a while..
I have the beta on my iPhone 4S and new iPad. I also think this is one of the least buggy first betas released in a while. Very stable for me. Only the new app store is slow. Maps, Siri etc working well. Safari is great, much faster.
I do have this problem too on an iPhone 4. I have multiple addresses too.
It might be related, but I can't access to iMessages addresses settings too.
A part from this, push notifications are a bit random.
The biggest bug for me is that FaceTime over 3G does not work on the iPhone 4, nor turn by turn navigation. Oh wait...
Birthdays appears twice in calendar/notifications. This because the Facebook contact has a birthday date. It then syncs with a contact that also gets this date. It happens even if the two contacts are linked.
Unchecking Facebook birthdays from items to show in the Calendar app removes the Facebook entries in the Calendar app. And it basically leaves me with behavior I want - birthdays for people in my contacts list(I don't want all the "Facebook birthdays" to clutter up my calendar). But - the Notification pull-down still shows "Facebook birthdays" (twice for the ones I have both in my contacts and on Facebook. Once for my Facebook only friends)
