New iCloud icon in Settings; new Storage and Backup icon too:
A new larger notification alert; ‘No New Notifications’ message in NC:
New “All Mail” icon for Gmail accounts; New Alarm popup for Snooze:
Newsstand ‘Easter Egg’ just like iBooks (this was from Beta 1 too); Messages app gets line breaks:
Under “Add Account” in Mail Settings…iCloud is now at the top, and MobileMe has moved to the very bottom; Google Maps suggested routes now have a ‘bolder’ line:
Miscellaneous notes sent in:
More to come…stay tuned!

After iOS 5 beta 2. Some apps just doesn’t work for example CBC and badoo. Just keep crashing. And when you open YouTube through safari web and tap on video it doesn’t give you the controlling icons. It force you to push the home button

The only thing I really want is accurate times when receiving text messages!! I’m tired of getting texts and the entire conversation is grouped under one time block even when it took place over a period of 20 minutes. If my wife sends a text at 11:03:30 and another one at 11:06:25 why can’t the iPhone display that?

Agreed! It was a pain to try to view older messages with the keyboard in the way.
I also agree that the update should have more accurate times when the txt was received insteading of groupin them under one time.
