Do you know what's even more anoying?
It could be, but I don't think you could uninstall anything relevant without root. This may be your best bet to get to 2.3.6 (EL29) in order to accept the OTA:
[ODIN][TAR] SPH-D710.EL29_CL852097 (EL29 Modem/Kernel/ROM - Full Restore - Rooted) - xda-developers
Use the download marked PRESERVE user data if you can, that will upgrade you without a data reset. It will be rooted, but not to worry, the OTA will kindly remove that for you. Read it all carefully, it's easy, but as they say.. R.I.F.
If all the battery drain issues are true, I'm not updating then. The battery life on this phone is incredible especially for an android phone and I'm not falling for this again like I did with my Evo.
Let me guess... I need root? ='(

Not rooted here, Just tried to move the ICS 'update.zip' file to my root directory & it said I don't have sufficient permissions. Dang!

Looks like according to the xda thread it has to be placed on the root of your SD card not internal storage.
