Meh, it's a messageboard. Why not? 
This list is based on v2.0.1 of the firmware.
1.) I hit the home button and that delay before the screen comes up is disturbing... much slower than iPhone 2G.
2.) The slide bar sometimes slides jerkily across the screen when you unlock the device. Not completely reassuring (as it was in iPhone 2G)
3.) Some menus take so darn long to populate. Contacts, SMS list, Settings page etc. Contacts should load instantly!
4.) Scrolling lag in contacts. Sometimes it lags, but ALL the time it has that jerkiness to it that doesn't inspire confidence.
5.) Pressing on a phone number should dial it instantly like it did on iPhone 2G. Sometimes I hit e.g. "James Mobile" and there's such a delay before it dials I feel like I didn't even push his name properly.
6.) Safari crashes way too easily. I figured Apple would have fixed this from iPhone 2G, but you open a page like engadget.com one too many times and boom, Safari crashes.
7.) Random call volume icon that appears for a second in the middle of the screen when you're using Safari. Very bizarre.
8.) General speed increase.
What's really sad to me is that the iPhone 2G was fairly limited in how widespread it became, aside from people unlocking. Now we have Apple's attempt to really, legitimately reach out all over the world, and what we get is a REALLY, REALLY buggy phone. iPhone 2G, for me, aside from features we all really want (obvious ones like copy/paste, A2DP etc...) was a solid, solid phone.
I hate to say it, but the iPhone 3G is far more like Microsoft than it is Apple.
Please add your thoughts beginning at #9 on the list...
