Just bought one (plus a USB/TTL converter). Should be here tomorrow.
Q: I've heard that some modules have soldering problems (oscillator is turned 90 degrees by mistake). Hope my module is ok.
Any experiences about flashing fw?
Just fount this: http://www.esp8266basic.com/editor-interface.html
1. Flash it on the module
2. Call the build in web-editor and code basic on the module(!)
3. One of the examples: Get status of the build in GPIO ports
4. Call it via httputils with parameters (like a php script)
Will try it at the weekend

I have already done upgrading firware but you don't need to. Simply use this library in Arduino IDE by following the simple provided instructions and you are good to use it like a regular arduino with WiFi onboard. The firware will be reprogrammed each time by the library.

If you use it with Blynk http://www.blynk.cc/ then some arduino examples are provided. This is quite simple just give it a try you will be impressed by the power of the combination ESP8266 / Blynk.
BTW there is different variant of the ESP8266. http://www.esp8266.com/wiki/doku.php?id=esp8266-module-family
I own many of them, but the most usefull for prototyping is the NodeMCU one. It is intented to be use with LUA scripting, but I prefer by far to use the arduino library. I'm sure you will have a lot of fun with these new toys
My module came in but I'm too dump to solder the wires. So I've ordered a new one (ready soldered with pins
for prototyping i use the NodeMCU with LUA scripting
and for a small project i use:
