Mobile Safari definitely feels snappier
But in all seriousness, everything feels the same and the only differences I noticed are the new slide up for camera option, no more annoying bookmark pop up in Safari, and ability to delete iCloud photos. I wish I had gotten the ability to toggle 3G on or off on my iPhone 4S.

i noticed that when you open the camera from the lock screen you can see your photos even though i have a password on my phone 
Hopefully this gets fixed!

Only if your passcode doesn't need to be entered (because then you'd be able to go to your photos through the app anyway), which is an improvement on 5.0(.1) functionality if you ask me.
The 3G toggle is missing on the 4S for Verizon and AT&T. Other carriers worldwide have it but not in the US.
Why?
Why do I get a message in iTunes when I have my (iPad2 or iPhone 4S) connected and trying to download the update it says "There is a problem downloading the software for the iPad (or iPhone). The network connection could not be established."
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks

Yes i just noticed this,I guess it would be redundant to be able to not see photos when your phone is unlocked. I guess the only way to block your photos from the lock screen would be to decrease the passcode time interval.
The missing 3G toggle seems to be an AT&T specific issue now (Verizon cannot use the switch so it's never been there).
Call AT&T because now the switch not being there has something to do with their end, not Apple's. It's blocked on the carrier side.

kind of annoying. and seems kind of stupid actually. so if, when you take a photo from one device, photostream adds it to all of your other devices, shouldn't it delete the photo from all your devices when you remove it from one?
After I lock my iPhone 4, wait a couple minutes and then unlock it, it will not reconnect to WiFi automatically.
Anyone else having this issue?

I have a 4S on Bell in Canada and I don't have the 3G off switch. I'd never use it anyway, but odd nonetheless.

Also, anyone update their 3GS yet? Want to know before I update my wife's phone.

No. My iPhone 4 connects in about 1/3 second after being unlocked. Is it my imagination, or are the icons snappier looking, brighter with the names underneath more 3-D looking, easier to read??
Seems overall faster than before, especially sending text messages.
That's because bell and telus don't have anything less than 3G, Rogers has edge network to fall back on.
For those wondering, looks like 5.1 fixed majority of iPad 1 problems. It almost feels new again (though slight sluggishness on keyboard still remains, I still haven't experienced a full keyboard lockup yet (greater than 1.5 seconds) and iPod updates it's position in about half a second now.
Haven't had a safari crash yet too...
Hope this lasts
Now that you mention it, the settings icon has like a silvery shein to it. Maybe it's my imagination, though. Haha!
I think it got screwed up when I restored during the initial setup.
Apparently resetting network settings and then browsing with Safari to make iOS ask you to join a network will correctly add it to be remembered.
Everything looks identical to me!
Isn't 5.1 suppose to fix the AirPlay problems that the iPhone 4S had (up until now, AirPlay didn't work with the 4S)??????
