Thanks for the update instructions and the link. I had been waiting for the Nexus One update to arrive OTA but it still hasn't got to mine. I'll probably just do the manual method, its just as well.

I also had to manually update the Nexus S for the same reason - mostly impatience, but also because of the SMS bug. The last thing I want is for my messages to end up at the wrong recipient. That is just too tiresome for words.

So to anyone reading the above - go for it. The notion of OTA is great, but so is having the capability to do it yourself.
