Iphone Ver 1.0 w/ new 2.0 firmware, anyone experience these issues?

Question

I am hearing much about some of what I am getting ready to say, so here goes. Since the firmware update day debacle of July 11th and going forward i.e. it seems to be far from over,, the following seem to be the most consistent things happening on my Iphone, wether I reboot, shut off, restart, Sync w/ Macbook, re install, turn off all so called extras, uninstall a few of the 15 extra apps I have installed total from App store.
* Screen goes black during phone calls pretty consistent, cannot access keys, to
switch between calls when someone else calls in, or even hang up for that
matter.
* Very, painfully slow response to keys when touching now. Especially in Mail
and phone/addresses apps. Touch key,,, count to 15-20 and maybe the screen
reacts. Ridiculous!
* Constant App freezes, or kick outs back to OS when working with or playing
most any app that I have. Many I simply uninstalled for this reason. Too many
to list. DID THEY EVEN TEST THIS STUFF??
* In advertent reboots for no reason, when I slide the key to the on position to
get into the Iphone.
* Reboots/Resets, often take several minutes??
* When trying to install the few updates that are released to some of the apps, halfway to the umpteenth insertion of my password to install the same app, the updater crashes, thus I must start over??
* Battery life?? Whatever, twice a day recharges now, unless I turn **** near every working component off except the phone. WHATS THE POINT OF THE TERM UPGRADE??
* All of the above reminds me of one thing. The thing I'd thought I'd for the most part gotten away from in my life MS WINDOWS. This is a painful reminder of that. Anyone agree??
I'm sorry, I love Apple, and am likely a fanboy as much as anyone, but this has been ridiculous since July 10th. It's now the 25th. I know I am far from alone. This stuff is untested, unprepared, and APPLE is doing a poor job of acknowledging it. I have lost, important calls, data, and simply frustrated. Rather than brag to people about all the new cool stuff, I simply shut my mouth and keep it in my pocket, and hope it does not ring, so I do not have to bring it out, and possibly have another meltdown in front of someone.
Anyone here got better stories/points, in hopes that Apple even reads this stuff?

Yeah, sure would have been smarter of them to not do the 2.0 update and the 3G rollout simultaneously. I think many of the upgrade problems are server issues -- perhaps all, since many did succeed with no problems, suggesting that the OS is OK but the upgrade process failed for many.
Once such a process fails it's hard to recover. I once bricked a digital SLR by an abortive flash upgrade and had to take to the service center to get it fixed. I'd expect Apple to be able to undo iPhone problems, but maybe that's optimistic.
