Anyone know when we might see Lollipop for our Verizon Galaxy Note 3's? I've been checking for it pretty regularly lately. Starting to wonder if I should just try and forget about it for another few weeks, or more..

Time line for Verizon is 6 months after everyone else updates it.
 
Downloaded and installing NOW. I copied all the files I wanted to keep, then I'm going to install, then do a factory reset.

Edit:
That was strange. I downloaded the update and ran it. It did the update but came up like usual, android 4.4.4, and it said there was an update to Lollipop. I downloaded that and am currently installing, again. Maybe the first update was a change to kit kat and now to lollipop?

Edit 2:
OK, now we're cooking with Lollipop. After the update, the red/orange Verizon screen stayed there for about 3 or 4 minutes, then it continued onto updating apps. I am now in Lollipop and will factory reset when I get a chance.

The initial notification about the available update said that the Lollipop update was available, and it would require two update steps for the whole process. I went through both of those just now on my Note 3 as well, and it too seems to be happily running on Lollipop now. The only glitch I've noticed so far is that it seems to have gotten mixed up with one of my message notification sound choices. Otherwise it seems to be sweet :)
 
Lollipop is here!!

I got the notice this afternoon. It comes as TWO updates. The first does some preparation for the upgrade but leaves you at 4.4.4. I've been able to install that one. The second one takes you to 5.0. My home wifi has been flaky this evening and has failed three times so far to do the final update. I'll check back once I can get it to download.
 
After several tries I got it downloaded and installed. It looks great and was a smooth install once I got it downloaded. It took me a few minutes to find the widgets. The calendar widget is the only one I lost. Still working on that. I was so surprised to see Big Red offering it I hadn't read up on the changes yet. I guess I have my work cut out for me tomorrow. Everything looks good so far! :D:D:D
 
Anyone have insights on timing? How long did both updates take? Just wanna make sure I don't get surprised by a long process.

Thx.
 
some minor app update problems; otherwise great: quick, responsive, more nexus-like ie touch wizz is toned down a bit.
i have not fully explored the note 3 since update. so far looks great. i doubt i will have to do a factory re-set ie wipe my phone.
