I've been out all day running errands and what not, stopped into the forums to find the update was released. SO I tapped into my wifi and dwld the update thru wifi, completed & rebooted all in about a total of 15mins time and everything was done
I'm sooo impressed at how smooth the transition to update an official software is with Apple makes me even more thankful I made the switch !!
I'm super excited to see how much my battery life will improve, prior to the upgrade I was averaging 5/6% loss per hour ie. 4/5hr usage with 15hr standing -from 100% off the charger at 630am then down to 25% plug in at 10pm.
So tomorrow I will start off fresh and keep an eye on how usage is going

Step 1: Plug in iPhone
Step 2: Click Update
But just do it over the air. If you do it through iTunes, it will download the entire OS from apple. (iTunes likes to keep a copy of the "latest" iOS in case you need to do a "restore", which wipes the phone and re-installs everything from scratch.11-10-2011 04:25 PM - IrishRose, when you say to give it a few charge/discharge cycles--what exactly do you mean by this. I've heard such mixed things about let the batt drain till it shuts down or to never do that and just charge when it needs it.
So, what is the right thing to do here ? I've dwld the update thru wifi approx 430pm and since then I've lost 10% already. TIA

Li-Ion batteries do not need to be totally drained, it's a (very) common misconception. Ars Technica has a wonderfully detailed article about lithium batteries here Ask Ars: What is the best way to use a Li-ion battery?11-10-2011 06:33 PM - Not sure if it really is the thing to do or not. But anytime I get a new phone or do a software update, I always fully charge the battery and let it shut off 3 times. They say you don't have to do this, but I do it and I always seem to have good battery life on all of my phones.IrishRose, when you say to give it a few charge/discharge cycles--what exactly do you mean by this.
