Yep, did not sign up for soak test and got the update Friday the 22nd.
And this is why it is a real rollout. If it weren't, Moto would be buying a bunch of new phones for people who have no way back GB.

Oh good. So I've got a month of possible waiting. Or 30 seconds.Probably not. The roll out happens more or less randomly. It's possible their going in order of the Serial Number, so you might be towards the end (depending on when you're phone was made). But it is definitely not pushed out based on your purchase date.
No, the store can't give you ICS. You'll have to wait for it to reach you. Or you can install it manually (there is a thread stickied on top describing how to do that).

I'm on a Mac. I'll try with Windows, if I have to. But I'd rather wait. It's more fun and less agonizing than worrying if I bricked my phone. If the official update bricks it, I only have to pay $100 deductible.
(FoxFi works with ICS without tweaking)The first rule of soak test is you don't talk about soak test... the second rule... eh you get it...
I received the download a few days ago... it didn't install because I had changed my boot animation...changed it back and it installed fine... all in all I like it... rooted it and am trying to get Wi-Fi tether to work in again... any questions and I'll do my best to answer...

My whole issue with that is.....why have a soak test looking for possible major bugs, issues then? Wasn't that a waste of time then?
If you're on 181 (the latest GB update from a month or 2 ago), you shouldn't need to run the Utility. Can should be able to just put the downloaded update on your sd card, boot into recovery and install it (I could easily be wrong). However I wouldn't recommend attempting that unless you have a windows machine available incase something went wrong.
And if the OTA messed up your phone, that's a warranty issue and not an insurance one. So no deductible.
you need to run the utility so your recovery gets updated to the ICS recovery. other than that its just updating from zip file on sd card after the recover is updated.
Interesting, haven't tried yet, but have you tried an older version? or a newer version if you have an older version? (assuming the one that's on the google code pages for download).
