It started rolling out yesterday, by miday a couple people I know had the OTA offered. By late evening another. I flashed a few for people that are scared of OTA's.

It should start being offered to more an more as they make sure it can distribute withut issues, if issues accur it will slow down again.

I tried that number thing to and mine also said "checked in"

Saw the prompt at 7 AM today.

Installation went by quick. Took about 15-20 min to go through.

On my way to work I did a bit of playing around and noticed:

There is very little difference from the stock UI, menu's the same. I do not notice any big improvement with the scrolling and switching screens sideways on the menu- It still lagging a bit.

However switching between aps and going back to main menu and back to the running aps seems a lot quicker.

You get a yellow shadow if you scroll all the way up or down in the menus

The top list where the wifi,bluetooth,gps,data,auto roation is looks different.

On main screen, when you're going sideways, now you're going into a loop when switching screens.

Skype works awesomly well. You can switch back and fourth from front & back cameras on call. Tested this while driving 20 miles on video call no disconnection on 4G.

No problems so far

I got the update this morning as well and one of the first things i noticed was all my text message contact pictures that were linked through my facebook are no longer there.  Its still linked in my contacts, just not my text messages.  Anyone know how to fix that?

Im curious to know how they send the update out.

Rex what is your area code ? What location? How long you been with verizon? When did you get your charge?

Im 313, Detroit Michigan, verizon costumer of 9 yrs, I got my charge June 8th (i think)

[Rex_89]

Im from the Bay Area California, i've had my charge since August and ive been a verizon customer for a little over a year now.  On my way to work this morning around 5:45am i saw it said i had an update for the phone, it took about 15 mins or so and when it came up, i still had all my apps and media and all that.  Just those text message contact pictures were gone.  But i did notice i had some new Verizon apps, and colors were different, i believe i got 4G in an area i use to only have 3G and it seems to be pretty smooth.

Really the only thing that i dont like is that whole text messaging contact pictures aren't linked to my fb anymore

I'm in Scottsdale, Arizona, 11:22am here and my wife, nor I have been prompted for the update, we have tried pulling it down on both of our phones over 3g, 4g and wi-fi, no luck yet.
