Ok.
I bought a 2GHz 2011 MBP 15 three weeks ago, and just put the new drive yesterday. These were my steps:
1. Updated my Time Machine backup.
2. Took out my old Seagate 7200.4 500GB.
3. Carefully put in the new drive. I say carefully because it's very easy to tweak or damage the SATA flex cable. I've had his break twice before on my 2009 MBP 15. Don't take any chances.
4. Booted up and held alt to boot to the Install CD
5. Formatted the drive for one partition, HFS+ Journaled. The usual.
6. Installed OS X 10.6.6 that came with the MBP. DO NOT USE ANY OTHER OS X INSTALL DISC. I installed it with rosetta, no extra fonts, and all the print drivers if I remember right. The installation took about an hour, nothing out of ordinary.
7. The Mac booted up, and I used my Time Machine to bring it back to the backup I had made earlier.
8. Everything looked great, except the the link speed. It was only negotiating at 3Gb/s, not 6.
9. I restarted the Mac, and reset the SMC.
10. Presto! It worked. The Mac booted up in 15 seconds, and the link speed was at full 6Gb/s.
11. Since then, I've reinstalled most of my applications, as Time Machine never gets restoring apps quite right.

Hope this helps.

"Apple should really fix these problems!"
What problems are attributable to Apple? You buy a computer from Apple, you install a module that hasn't been recommended by Apple, and you experience a problem. What do you see as Apple's involvement? Should Apple perform compatibility testing on every SSD that is available? I don't think so.
