* Installing the software upgrade failed on me five times, leaving me with a brick for about 4 hours. When I switched to iTunes on the Mac instead of on Windows it finally upgraded just fine. * Synchronizing with MS Exchange isn't consistent. I have to force it to sync manually most of the time; so far only one email has shown up on its own. My other phones (WM) sync in real-time as they are supposed to from the same Exchange 2007 server. * MS Exchange synchronization doesn't automatically sync folders other than Inbox; they have to be checked manually individually. (This appears to be by design.) * MS Exchange synchronization doesn't support HTML messages. Server search also isn't supported. (Also by design.) * As the result of the three previous issues, the MS Exchange sync feature is more or less worthless to me right now. IMAP was more reliable and more feature-rich. * My contacts and calendar entries are all showing up at least twice each, some as many as 6-8 times. * Scrolling through long lists is now choppy instead of being smooth with 1.1.4. * There aren't many good apps in the App Store just yet. Most of them were obviously written quickly or written by inexperienced designers. I know this will change, but for now most (but certainly not all) of the apps there are useless.
I couldnt upgrade on thursday until I went to itunes 7.7 on winXP, took me about 2 hours so I feel your pain there, can't comment on the MS exchange because I dont use it, but thought I'd comment about the itunes 7.7 thing since literally no one on thursday was saying it needed to be upgraded to make the change.
