[coatlegs]

Nothing in Ohio.

 

[jtc1c#AC]

Nope

Wyoming....NO!

 

[bananaslug613]

Nothing in MI, even though I have a feeling location matters very little.

I have a feeling they meant a different timezone maybe, or it wasn't pushed at all yet.

 

[sgtturner]

Oh well, all have to cross my fingers. and hope some post a link. If I do get it I will post it up. Night all....

Last time when they pushed the 2.0.1 update out, I didn't get mine until 3AM EST vs the 12AM they said they'd go out. So who knows, we probably have a while to wait before we even know if anyone received it.

Peace out.

 

[fludkilla]

I think most people will have it when they wake up

 

[ardoreal]

Yeah I'm not holding my breath. I'm figuring that with the network push, it's probably not going to happen exactly at the time they said. The last update I got it in the first batch of 200k but it was hours after the time it was scheduled for.

I also didn't get 2.0.1 exactly at midnight... I was checking for updates manually and it showed up between 2 and 3 EST. Hopefully the same happens here...

nothing in st louis mo yet

 

[RRollergod]

I am experiencing terribly slow download rates when I am updating my apps. I assume that's due to the updates being sent out though and not my receiving one.

Same here but I got it around 12:45 est plus I wasn't checking for updates either but there is still a chance though I'm not holding my breath.

Just because it's rolling out... it seems to be rolling at a very slow pace. Appox 20 days before everyone will have the update.. hmm I'm not a fan on that. Haven't we waited long enough?

That's just the way Verizon rolls out their updates, to be safe. Better that only 10,000 get a bad update than everybody who has the phone. And really, since we're geeks, it doesn't matter that it takes that long anyways. Odds are that in the very near future, somebody will snag that update off their phone before it's applied, and post it online. And when that happens, we all get it!

I'm not a fan of this either.. Companies like Microsoft or Sony can have updates sent out to every single gaming console (and I'm sure there are more than 2 million xbox360 / PS3s out there) at once, but verizon can't send more than 200k updates a day?? I'm callin shenanigans!

Look at it from this perspective:

These are phones. Say they are right in the middle of roll outs maybe 1/4 of the way done then someone reports that their phone got bricked then another person reports that there is some huge bug that makes the phone inoperable. What they can do at that point is stop rolling it out and re assess the software and make sure that these bugs aren't just user error. A slow roll out means more control if there are bugs rather than pushing it to everyone at the same time and bricking everyone's phone.

Oh I'm not disagreeing with the slow rollout method... I just don't like the possibility of it being 20 days slow! That being said, ill probably install the update.zip if/when its available, manually... (non-rooted here...)
