Also I just got in, spoke to soon in my previous post, however it did take a wee while.
Does anyone know why the update filesize via iTunes is 4-5 times bigger than the OTA download? Compressed? False numbers?
From Wikipedia:
"A delta update is an update that only requires the user to download the code that has changed, not the whole program."
That?
I'm thinking the OTA update didn't work for me because my device was jailbroken. I heard that the new update would just not be detected via OTA, but that is probably the reason.

For the most part, the iOS 5.1 update is pretty useless to me.
Growl notification "Apple Mobile Device (recovery mode)". Ugh, and that painful iTunes "waiting for ipod." and empty progress bar on my device.

Updated. I can confirm the presence of a "4G" indicator and the new camera lockscreen. I don't know about battery life yet, but I'll test that out tomorrow.
Safari no longer brings up the bookmarks menu when you open it anew. Instead, the address bar shows "go to this page," also when no tabs are open.

No. I had to go to the e-lite website and download the ISPW and do an update thru iTunes.
im torn as having the ability to delete from photo stream and iTunes match genius would be nice but so is having my jailbreak.
Can anyone report if there are any other iTunes match fix's in 5.1 aside from genius being re-added?

Just updated an iPhone 3GS.
The download took 15 mins over WiFi
The phone then appeared to hang for about 20 mins with a "preparing update" message, but then moved on to an "installing update" screen which lasted another 15 mins.
The phone is now running iOS 5.1 as well as it's run all the previous versions of the OS. We will see how the battery life works out over the next few days although it has been OK up till now.

Yeah. OTA will just download the changes, iTunes the whole schabong.
My update failed 3 times so I'm taking the last resort and updating via iTunes (a.k.a. 800mb restore )
)
They've removed the URL shortcut schemes so can't access settings shortcuts from home screen anymore
