You folks that just got the new update: Are you coming from KitKat or from the earlier Lollipop release (that got cut off)?
I am wondering if they are pushing this out to the KitKat people first or those of us (including myself) that have broken Bluetooth on Lollipop.

I received the OTA 5.0 update a few hours ago, was running 4.4.4.
?You're causing yourself a problem, though - especially in a phone with a non-removable battery. Recharge at the 40%-60% point, or you'll be paying a lot to replace batteries. See Battery University - How to Prolong Lithium-based Batteries. Running the battery down to near 0 (which is what I think you're planning on doing) gives you about 350 charge cycles. If you use the full charge every day, that means replacing the battery in less than a year - and suffering with a battery that holds less and less charge as it ages during that year. (It's one reason I won't buy a phone that doesn't have a field-replaceable battery - I always carry at least one fully charged spare.)

Well, Ive had a few non replaceable battery devices, never experienced degradation in a battery. My beloved nexus 4 has been 20 months strong, battery is awesome on lollipop. Get 4+ hours SOT.
There's no evidence or theory that suggests you have to charge your phone at 40-50% to keep battery longetivity up. If that the case your doing TWICE the charging, subjecting your battery to charges/discharges twice as much. I can't imagine that being good for the battery.
If you sideloaded .5, you will never get an update notificationI had sideloaded (no root) the first 5.0 release and I didn't get a notification for an update. Still says up to date.
Just got Lollipop by going to update system under about phone in settings and asking if I'm up to date. OTA underway I guess.
