Here is an Letter that I send to Apple support after one frustrating update of iOS ofr iPhone.
Hello Team,
Thanks a lot for new iOS 5 for my iPhone 4, now to the point how do I remove newsstand apps ( or at least hide that crap app that I didn’t want in my phone, I can’t even hide it in Utilities )
Another thing as I used to live in UK and used UK iTunes store ( which was great ) I moved back to Slovakia it switched me to Slovak half baked unusable iTunes store ( honestly if you can’t do it right don’t do it at all ) now I have 5 apps flashing red as un-updated in iTunes and in phone but can’t do shit about it as they were bought in UK store. When I try to update it tells me that I don’t have updates but they are there in phone they at least shows but I can’t click on them.
Mind you I already paid for the apps so the updates should be free and I don’t care how you do it or where I’m located.
I know you will be having good laugh about this support ticket, I work in support too and I know you will not do anything about it… but maybe when messages likes this gets more and more something will change in next 20 years…
My next steps will be find how to downgrade to cracked iOS as this went long enough ( and don’t let me started on tracking information send to Apple + my voice as stated in service agreement after install )
Take care and good luck in next release.

PopoAgreed. iOS 5 for iPhone 4 and iPad 1 and iPad 2, is an unmitigated disaster. Painfully slow wifi. Poorly thought-out iCloud integration. Disastrous changes to Safari. Overall system instability. Poor memory management. Clear signs of Microsoft-style “bloat”. Crashing apps, and incompatibilities with iOS4.
I too will be jailbreaking and downgrading by iPad as soon as I can find the time.
There is simply no excuse for the disaster that is iOS5.
Apple screwed up in a big way. Jobs would have fired half the company over this.
