I'm still getting the "Service Unavailable" error (since last night). I'm leaning heavily toward just flashing the RUU (from Android Police). Already have it downloaded (from last week) and just sitting on the SD card ready to go. I'll wait may be another hour or two and if I still can't get the OTA, will just flash it. I kind of prefer it anyway as it provides a clean slate so to speak.
"Update: As of this morning, almost all of us are still seeing the “SERVICE UNAVAILABLE” message when checking for the update. There is a chance that they populated it to the server to get it ready and a lucky few were able to snag it before it was pulled again. We’ll keep you updated as we see it go live again.
Didn't restart. I have been trying since last night and getting the service unavailable error. Just tried again and it worked! Downloading now... Seems kinda like a busy signal problem when trying to call a radio station... just keep trying and you might get through.
Edit: Coming from just outside New York City - Download is 13.6 megs
Have been trying since 9:30pm last night to get 605.5 update in Buffalo, NY, I did a reboot of my phone and right away checked for new updates, and it found it and started d/l fine.. Thanks for the advice about rebooting the phone!!
Just checked again and got prompted for the update (Didn't reboot to get it, just checked via Software Update). Downloaded and ready for install, says the following:

About five minutes (and three reboots) to install. Voicemail notifications fixed. New Weather sound effects are kind of cheesy (turned them off via settings). Nice to have the “Update when opened” option back. So far, all seems to be working well. Netflix and NFL Sunday Ticket still working like champs! Awesome!
