I echo John's question about if the phone is jail broken. I haven't seen any of 
these issues myself, or reported on any web sites as of yet. If anything, i'm 
having the opposite experience. VO is very snappy since the update for me. All 
my email accounts are fine. My iTunes Match is fine. It couldn't have gone more 
smoothly, actually.
