i dont think it matters, but I will tell you OTA took less than 10 minutes and it was a breeze...love it.

Just finished my download via iTunes took 15 min. Browsed quite a few sites and phone is holding steady at 96%. Normally would drop faster on safari

As stated, I don't think it matters. If you are doing it OTA just make sure you are near a WiFi connection and have a charger nearby if your battery is less than 50% as it won't allow you to finish the download till you do connect to the charger.

Has anyone actually got better results from doing it via iTunes instead of OTA? Previous releases that is.. Or even this if you would know that fast lol.. If its better im willing to do it... Ill prob just end up doing it anyways since it cant be worse at least.... Rightt?

Just did it OTA and it was great. Had to wait all day as I was at work (no wifi) then out. I really hope they let us do it through cellular data one day. Anyway, it's all working well. Have to determine battery life tomorrow and through the weekend. Got to say, this sure beats BlackBerry OS updates!

is a perfect example of what happens when a pimply faced kid gets all hopped up on code red mountain dew down in their parents basement. they all of a sudden become keyboard warriors

notice he has not been on for a while? yeah, that caffeine finally got the best of him

by the way, i have no plans on updating to 5.0.1 unless the Dev Team gives me the green light

True. I guess he hadn't noticed from some of the posts on this forum and others that the battery issue of iOS 5 wasn't just a problem for 4S owners but 4 owners as well, which was one of the things that was addressed in the iOS 5.0.1 update.

So how anyone downloaded .1 and had worse battery life? I have been very happy with 5.0 and my battery life (lucky maybe) don't want to screw anything up!!

I've noticed great battery life (improvement) since the upgrade earlier this afternoon!

Awesome..Thanks to my wonderfully slow internet 2 hours of waiting here i come!

I have tried to download it via my 4s, through the software update, and it tells me that is unable to check for a software update. I have restarted my phone countless times. And when I try to update it via itunes it says the connection times out every time. Any ideas?

Could be the servers are getting hammered.... try again later... or, get up a little early and try in the morning.

Haha. Don't remind me!! Those blackberry updates still give me nightmares. BB desktop manager was the WORST EVER!

Yes. Hope I'm wrong, but it seems the battery life has gotten worse....didn't have battery problems to begin with now seems I do.

Great, now that 5.0.1 is released, maybe we'll finally see that untethered jailbreak. I'm hoping thats what the DevTeam were waiting on.
