I was wondering why i wasn't getting the update to ICS, even when I checked manually, so I restarted the phone and the update popped right up. Just a tip in case you're still waiting. The update also hung for 30 minutes on "starting applications," and I was tempted to do something to the phone, but I was patient and put the phone away. When i got back to the phone 2 hours later, the battery was nearly gone but the update was finished. So sometimes impatience gets the prize, while at other times it's good to wait.
