Software Update 2.3.4 Buggy

I updated my phone this morning and now I cannot:
1. View or add contacts (Force closes)
2. Open dialer (force closes)
3. Gmail will not open most of the time.
I need my phone so anyone know how I can resolve this? If I need to go to a Verizon store that is no problem but I need my phone to work.

Have you tried restarting the phone? I've been having some bugs too, and that seems to help.

I've tried that once but I will try again...

I have restarted the phone several times now and still have the same problems...

I also updated my phone yesterday and it is not reading my SD card. Contacts messed up also. The app sdrescan is not working for me either. Is there some way to help with this?

You know what VZW is going to say.....factory reset.

I REALLY don't want to do a factory reset though...

Same problem here, I can't acess my dialer, my toolbar was iniitially missing my quicklaunch bar at the top (that came back after a reboot). Is there anyway I can roll back this update, I can't go through a factory reset everything this thing has a problem.

I had problems with my phone freezing up and such. Come to find out it was the android app killer that was causing the problem. The rep at our local stored removed the app and it worked fine. Several weeks later I downloaded a different app killer..... well, this past week I started experiencing problems - couldn't get my weather app to work, my email notifications were not working, etc. etc. So I killed the app killer and now I'm back in working order........
