I started the upgrade about 24 hours ago, and it kept giving me messages to delete 21 MB of space for it to download, and there was nothing on my phone. It was a major P.I.A. I finally got it to download about 3 hours ago. and it works just fine now. i can definitely notcie the difference in some things. such as the camera. video camera doesnt freeze up on me now. and it moves a tad bit faster when i tilt the screen.

I woldn't know how the upgrade is...I've downloaded and installed the damn OS on THREE different occasions through OTA and each time after it finishes "restoring" the screen just goes back to my home screen and the updated OS is nowhere to be found. I've tried pulling the battery, but that hasn't worked either and the VZW tech support told me that since I don't have access to a Windows computer to try it through the DM, that I'm plain S.O.L. I've never had any complaints about VZW until now. The total and utter lack of support for this phone is absolutely ridiculous! And when I bought the Storm I specifically asked the sales person if Mac support was available to which he said "yes"...and well I've come to find that the "yes" he gave me only applied to a SMALL portion of support. Since I'm SOOOOO frustrated right now, the hope of a new iphone to be announced and released is looking more and more appealing by the minute! ARGH!

UPDATE: Finally got the upgrade to go through last night at midnight and needless to say I'm in love again. This is the phone that I should have been able to buy back in February! Just a few MINOR tweaks and this thing will suffice for me til my next upgrade in Oct. 2010.
