I've been keeping wifi turned off on my phone since the massive wifi bug was announced a while back. This weekend I finally got around to backing up my phone (manually backing up the important stuff cause I don't trust Apple), clearing space, and upgrading it.
First I had to upgrade iTunes, so I did that. But iTunes was separate to the software updater, and so it (not sure which) went off and downloaded the upgrade. Meanwhile I came back to the software updater (or was it iTunes??) and it wanted to me to restart. Whoops. So I quietly ignored that until the download had finished, hoping I'd be able to do it before I started the upgrade. I also left my phone plugged in for the entire process.
Three hours later.
At our crappy internet speed of 2Mbps it took three hours to download the 2.4GB update.
But when it downloaded it just went off and did the upgrade quietly, I think with a couple of reboots of the phone (it did it while we watching tv). Then it was done. No drama, no errors, no hassles. I know this is how it *should* be, but my experience has always been a lot more awful than that.
It removed the Game Centre and added "Home" and "Videos". And made the notifications and home button behaviour different. Haven't really used much else to comment on anything else.
And in related news, Optus finally have 4G where we live. It's been 3G until just this weekend.
