Several bugs for me:
1) The music app (which used to be the iPod) seems to have lost much of my album art. When I went into iTunes and navigated to my iPhone's music library to correct that issue, it subsequently rendered the songs I had added art to unplayable. In addition, there are other songs that will not play, and I have not touched them. I've hard-restarted the phone, but the problem persists. I think I'll probably have to delete all the music from my iPhone and repopulate from iTunes (I don't automatically sync music because I have about three times as much as will fit on my device, so I have to manually drag music over - what a pain) and see if that corrects the problem.
2) The music app also tends to crash more often, but this may be related to bug #1 above. Once I repopulate the music, I'll see what happens.
3) When in the music app and selecting a particular artist, when you tap "All Songs" the songs from that artist should be alphabetically arranged, with dividers for each letter and the alphabet selector on the right side of the screen. With some of my albums that is the case, but with others it's not. I wonder if the number of songs from that particular artist has anything to do with it?
4) This is not a bug on my phone per se, but on my daughter's 3Gs. When you go to "Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars" you should see the accounts you have on your iPhone. Selecting any one of those accounts brings up a page with your account name at the top, and slide switches for what you want to include in that account (for example, mail, contacts, calendars, reminders, notes). Tapping on the account name at the top will take you to the account information page which shows your name, email address, password (dotted out) and description, with the name of the SMTP server and the "advanced" button below. In my daughter's case, however, she does not get the page that shows her the on-off switches for the account elements. It simply goes to the account information page. She has deleted the accounts from her phone and re-enabled them, but the problem persists. Could a hard reset correct this issue? We haven't tried that yet.
5) Music quality appears to be not as good in iOS 5 as it was under iOS 4, but I have read threads relating to this issue. Once I turned the master volume down on my iPhone, it seems to play fine through my car stereo with no bass distortion problems. I don't use the EQ, though, so I'm not missing anything much.
Those are my major gripes with the new OS, and they're not all that major overall. I'm sure I'll find more; when I do I'll post them and send the requisite feedback to Apple. Hopefully 5.0.1 will correct many of these issues.
