2.3.2 update

I installed this manually about 2 hours ago, and I've just tried to text someone for the first time since I installed it, and it appears swype isnt working. I can type like a normal keyboard, but if you try to 'swype' a word, you see the line following your finger, as normal, but at the end of the swype, no word appears and a blue line flashes around the outline of the keyboard. Just wondering if anyone else has this problem?

EDIT

Also, I never got the sms bug from the last version, so is it possible to flash back to the previous firmware which swype did work on? and where would i find it if i can?
 
How does Google decide which phones to push the update to first? I haven't gotten this update yet and I waited so long for the new Market update after they started finally pushing it to the Nexus S that I got impatient and manually downloaded it instead.

Could be regional, possibly based on your IP address.

Don't think so, since I am in italy, and i still got it although if the update was region based I would not have received it since the phone is not sold here, therefore its also not carrier dependent since Vodafone IT does not support the NS as of yet. I am guessing they just do it through your phone's serial number and it is pushed to you through google's servers.

By regionally IP based, I mean that they might send it to one IP at a time in certain regions in order to keep mobile network strain down (of course that makes me wonder why it wouldn't come more quickly if you're on WiFi). So someone in a rural area where there are only a few Nexus S' on a network (like Italy) would all have their updates, while a place like New York would have only made it through 10 or so people.

Or maybe it just runs down a list of MAC addresses or serial numbers.
 
I don't really think it would train the network. The update file was like 600KB. It's not like everyone in the world has a Nexus S.
