So will they still send the update to us ota?
Verifying current system...

E: Error in /sdcard/update.zip

Installattion aborted
Hmm a quick observation...is anyone else noticing that after the update the Facebook app newsfeed is displaying "Facebook User" instead of the persons name?
I'm getting the exact same error, and I haven't found anyone else between this and two other forums that has. Tired now, but I've tried downloading using the Droid+Astro method (first attempt actually), then a Mac, then a Windows 7 box, always making sure it was "update.zip" and not .zip.zip.
Frustrated, even restored my phone, didn't fix. At the point it's failing at "Verifying current system", my best guess is that there's something wrong with the existing OS on our phones, and the restore doesn't fix that. I'm going to wait for the OTA on mine, and then when it most likely fails, bring it back to Best Buy because it won't update. If you find anything else out, please let me know, and I'm curious if your OTA will even work.
Be interesting to see what's similar between our two phones.
I have a mac... no idea how to do this. This is what I did...
Plugged in the phone to the macbook.
downloaded the file.
clicked and dragged the file onto the phone folder.
and followed the rest of the directions....
I know I am doing something wrong.
Are they ever going to address the vvm issue?
You could always sign up for a google voice invite (takes under a week to get one) and use that instead for free. It works fine with wifi
I'm guessing that we've got a slightly different hardware revision... that needs a slightly different update than the one that's been leaked.
Thanks for posting this! Downloaded it, and updated my phone in less than 5 minutes. What a breeze in comparison to my old Storm 1! Anyways, just some quick observations that I saw immediately:
1) Camera is indeed MUCH faster. Can't say much about the quality but at least when you take a picture, it goes back to camera mode much faster than before.
2) Transitions between home screens (Using dxTop) is much faster and smoother. Same applies for the app trays (dxTop has two)
3) Applications in general seem smoother. Had an issue trying to open up the Gallery from the home screen (it wasn't opening) but all I did was remove the icon and re-added it. Works now!
4) Browser seems slightly faster but the scrolling may be a bit less smooth than before. However, not a big deal (at least to me!)
5) No word on Facebook yet, has anybody been receiving notifications?
