That's the basic question. Ever since I updated my 4S I honestly have to say that I have yet to drop a call, the battery life has been great and for some reason the call quality has gotten better. And yes, I am with AT&T.

So, with all the threads here and elsewhere of people still having issues, who have actually been surprised that the build resolved their complaints and are enjoying it?
 
Went back to 5.0.1 to jailbreak. Only benefit to 5.1 was the camera slide-up function, which I got back on 5.0.1 plus every other tweak I know and love. :D
 
I'm totally happy with my 4S on 5.1. Battery is fine and nothing ever crashes; at least I can't recall the last app that crashed.
 
It's good but getting boring. No widgets, no turn by turn directions, and no FaceTime over 3G. There doesn't seem to be much new in 3rd party apps for iOS5 that couldn't be done in iOS4 other than better notifications.
 
All is running well with me. Starting to get habituated with the current look of iOS though, I've been using the same thing since 2007 pretty much. Ready for a shake up with iOS 6
 
Just downgraded back to 5.0.1

Seems most Appledrones can't notice the pinch zoom changes in Safari/Photos that were designed for the iPad 3...
 
Running 5.1 on my Verizon 4S, everything going very well. I am quite happy with the update and have no noticeable bugs.
 
The 4S is great on 5.1. It is true that its battery life and call quality has been great and iphone 4s Jailbreak on IOS 5.1 Jialbreak Free Working Download and i am completely happy with that.
 
No major compliants with 5.1. My battery is pretty bad at the office, but that's mainly because it's constantly searching for a 3G signal (I'm on Verizon). The one thing that I experience is that ocassionally when I receive an iMessage or SMS, my designated text tone will stutter. I thought it was my phone, and I was going to buy a new one, but apparently it's a bug. Again, nothing major, but it's annoying when it happens.
 
Overall I'm pretty happy with it. Every version gets better.

There are still a lot of features that are missing. A lot of them are just absurd oversights. No way to automatically sort icons always aggravates me. I also wish there was full BT keyboard support. You can type well enough but that's about it. Why can't I even hit return and have a text message/skype message send? I have to touch the screen. Makes hands off manipulation impossible. Also I wish I could switch between and close apps with the keyboard.
 
Haha Seriously. Battery life is disappointing. I guess why this update was required at the first place.
