Maybe my experience is unique, but since “upgrading” to version 1.1.1 of the iPhone software, my device is barely usable. The iPod, Safari and Mail apps crash almost every time I use them, and many long-standing bugs and quirks still remain (an example). As far as I’m concerned, 1.1.1 is a disaster, and not worth the iTunes Store.
Update: After realizing my case was, in fact, unique, I followed suggestions to restore the iPhone. So far, so good. After 3 hours of use, none of the apps have crashed on me yet.
Update 2: While on vacation I’ve been using my iPhone very heavily, and since the restore it’s been more stable than ever. I guess 1.1.1 isn’t such a disaster after all.
I’m having a similar experience—the iPod and Safari crash about every third time I use them, now. (I don’t use Mail, so I’m not sure if it has a similar crash rate.) Here’s hoping Appl fixes whatever they did ASAP.

I’m actually having the reverse experience. Everything for me is running quickly and quietly. Nothing lags and/or crashes for me at all. Howerver, I did just got my iPhone Friday and updated to 1.1.1 before really digging into the functionality. VERY interesting… How long before 1.1.2?

So far no problems with the upgrade that I know of—but then I don’t have a lot of experience with my iPhone yet. Loving it now that I got my Outlook upgrade and I could finally download contacts…before that frustration was my NAME!

Sorry to hear it. My experience has been much like that of Rob. No crashes, no problems at all really. They’ll fix it. Hopefully.

Maybe you should try restoring. Mine works better after the 1.1.1 update.
