Yes. It makes no difference that you missed the 5.0 update. It will just go directly to 5.0.2.

Thanks. Update installed, now I have to fix apps that have failed! I guess that's progress!

What failed? I've had no outright failures and only a handful of apps that updated after the OS upgrade.

Sorry a bit of an overstatement ... I thought I had problems but 'jumped too soon'. I was missing a few short cuts and one specific App (that involved a PIN) refused to accept my codes. I am locked out of this app site now for 12 hours and then will change my PIN. But I recall that this specific (specialist) app fails each time there is a system update ... mentioned it to them but!
So, a happy experience. Seems that Lollipop involves more taps to access certain programmes and I much preferred 4.4's method for Settings access etc eg the two pull-downs from screen top instead of one as we now have. But I will get used to it.
Apologies for wasting your time.

To access Settings in one motion, use 2 fingers instead of 1. When you get used to Lollipop I bet you'll like it. It's not really that different. I'm lost as to what takes you more taps to do...

Thanks for the 'two finger' tip. Yes, I am sure I will get to like Lollipop.
More 'taps' ... good example is Contacts. Initially only the names show up when opening from a short-cut. Unless I have it wrongly set up.

You lost me. If the names list didn't pop up in Contacts before, what did?

Must be my Australian past! Now only the names of Contacts initially pop up ... pre Lollipop you also got the Contact details. No big deal.
