My work phone is a Droid Razr, and a number of settings changed when it updated from Gingerbread to ICS (4.0.x) I only had it for a few weeks before it updated, so it wasn't that much of a problem to get used to the look and feel, but it was annoying to have to redo several settings. I think I've been on ICS for about 5 weeks.

I must say it's been rock solid as far as reliability since the update. I run AIRForums and other personal apps on my personal phone, though (HTC Evo LTE Sprint device.)

Mine got upgraded about 4 or 5 days ago. It was a little foreign at first, but now I am very happy with it. The screen is distinctly clearer and the phone responds noticeably faster. It may well have messed with my email. I normally only use gmail on the phone and that is working fine. However I have a "secret" comcast email address that goes to the phone also. I will have to check those settings. So far 100% satisfied. I did notice about 2 days after upgrading, the phone had downloaded some sort of additional update during the night.

That's good news. When I got my Droid 4 some Android-using friends advised that it would crash now and then, and it has. Seems like I have had to reboot it several times to correct everything from weird behavior to outright not working. Reminds me of the early days of Windows.

But, bugs or no, the smartphone is sure a life-changing device, especially handy for us nomadic types. Having email, weather, campground guides, etc. in your pocket on the road is fabulous. (And no, I don't consult the smartphone while I am driving.)
