    I received the Wireless update this morning. It said it would take about 2 hours, and they weren't kidding. It did take almost 2 hours. But to my surprise, when the process was done the GPS location now works with Google Maps! I wasn't expecting this. Just some minor fixes to improve the trackball or other reported problems.

    But it is now locating me within 5 meters.

    Did you have to reinstall all your apps & settings after you completed the OTA OS update?

    So far, the rumor is that it's only being released for a limited amount of Sprint BES users. Oh well, I'm sure us BIS users will get it soon enough.

    And hopefully we can update via OTA. Also, can anyone confirm if OTA updates delete apps/settings...?

    I am on BES and I didn't have to reinstall my 3rd party downloaded applications. But I did have reinitialize them, as they acted like this is the first time I had run them. Had to re-input my activation codes and click through any accept/decline initialization screens.

    But that was about it. Took a while for my BES to re-activate, but that happened automatically, as well. After it was all said and done and with a final battery pull to make sure everything was "back-to-normal", I ended up with more free RAM then I previously would have with .40.

    I did the same thing and it was just misc. language updates. I have been anxiously clicking the "Check for Updates" button waiting for it to give me good news.
