1. The update process crashed repeatedly.
2. I had to restore the phone to factory conditions and reinstall everything
3. The whole process took over 5 (yes, FIVE) hours... and those 5 hours do NOT count all the time I will have to spend FIXING the stuff that got BROKEN and messed up by the " update". Read on...
4. Icon arrangement came
out all messed up. I have to spend time now rearranging all
the App icons in the screens and folders I had them
5. I LOST ALL the eBooks (100+ !!!) I had in the Stanza eBook reader app. Gone. I probably have them on my Windows 7 PC (which has NOT crashed even once in almost 2 years, it looks like MS *finally* learned how to write an OS...).
6. The Stanza bookreader app doesn't work with iOS5. I'll have to switch to Kindle or Nook because iBooks sucks. That means that once I search and locate my eBooks in the PC, I will have to CONVERT ALL of them from .ePub to .mobi so I can access them on Kindle. Drat... MORE time wasted...

7. I lost ALL my Safari bookmarks. ALL. GONE. Re-doing all this is going to take A LOT of time that I don't have.
8. I lost ALL my photos and videos. This one is MAJOR. Thankfully I back them up manually to an external drive and didn't lose them completely. But if I hadn't ...
9. I lost ALL the alarms I had set. Minor but annoying.
10. I lost ALL the world clocks I had set up. Minor but annoying.
11. I lost ALL my "Favorites" in the phonebook. Minor but annoying.
12. My voicemail lost its configuration, now I have to remember the damn password or call AT&T.
13. All the entries in my Calendar are now duplicated. That's more time I will have to spend fixing that.
14. the Weather app lost all the pre-set cities. Minor annoyance, more time wasted.
15. some apps, such as Weather Channel, got deleted. GONE. Now I will have to reinstall them. More time wasted.
16. I lost ALL the text messages I have sent or received over MANY years. Apparently there is NO WAY to recover that. Gee, thanks, Apple...
17. eMail accounts configuration was lost. Minor annoyance, more time wasted.
18. My phone's memory shows 4.3 Gb in "other". It looks like I will have to wipe out the phone AGAIN and reinstall everything.
