Default Experiences From The First WP7 Update
http://www.liveside.net/2011/02/21/...thout-problems/

"For the first time, an update for Windows Phone is being gradually pushed out to users beginning today."

It appears that while some owners of WP7 devices have been able to apply the update smoothly, others have not been as lucky.  There are reports of devices hanging during the update process thereby rendering them unusable.  If you have not updated yet or are one of those with a bricked device, you may want to take a look at the forums here and Microsoft's Answers for guidance.  For those of you who have not received the update yet, now is a good time to make sure you've updated your Zune software to the latest version and to create a back-up of your important data.

Out of curiosity, has anyone here received the update yet? And if you did, how was the update process?

Just finished.

Went pretty smoothly. I don't know if it's my imagination but like someone else said in the other thread - it does seem faster, or at least they reduced the delay on the transitions. Using an HD7 here.

Nurhisham, who is your service provider? Where do you live?

I live in California and use AT&T. No update so far. My wife and cousin haven't received update notices either.

I live in Toronto Canada and I tried doing the update last night on my Samsug Focus, but the update process hung for about 4 hours. I finally found the courage to hit the cancel button on the Zune software interface and luckily it did not brick my phone. It seems to be working as usual.

Still no update for me. I have an AT&T LG Quantum on the Rogers network in Canada.
