It can take 10+ mins, it usually doesn't, usually under a minute for the actual flash and less that 5 minutes to boot up (and that's assuming it wipes the davlik cache. And do you think he took a stop watch out and timed it? I'm taking 7 minutes as an estimate, and 10+ minutes is close enough.

WiFi is how I roll!
I just powered down my phone, turned it back on, same thing.
Just so that we are all clear in checking for updates: Menu> Setting> About Phone> System updates.
Correct?

I dont really think this person really got the update. If they did where are those screenshots? It take less then 5 mins to take them and upload it. Plus if you see they are new if any thing they got the .173

Thats what the leak was about and when people went to try flashing it with just the files they bricked their phone.

I concur.
Also, with the new Droid Flighter scheduled to be released on 04/12 (of somewhere close to there), I would be highly surprised if VZW updated the RAZR and RAZR MAXX to ICS before then. They don't want to take away from the thunder of the Flighter, which will use ICS as one of its primary selling features.

My update check works fine on wifi and 3g. Not sure why you guys are having problems with yours though.
Of course there's no update : )

Incorrect.
The soak test has not started yet, so it couldn't have come from there. And if it did, it wouldn't be considered a "leak" since it the update for the soak test will be officially released by Motorola.
The leak was actually pulled directly from Motorola's servers via Cheesecake (which is well documented in various forums). It may or may not have been a final version (hence some of the problems some users had...although most people who know what they're doing haven't had any issues with installing it).

I am positive that you will be prompted when the update goes live. You don't have to check all the time to see. Last update, I got a message for an update before I read anywhere that it was even rolling out.

That is what I said, but folks are saying a soak test is real. Question is who are the folks that started this and was ICS the confirmed thing to be tested? Must think though the timing of the info was around April Fools.
There IS a leak out though....
Added: I hope my joking does not turn to reality.

It's exciting, especially for people who have never used ICS!

You will get prompted eventually. But it's not always at the outset. After I received my MAXX a few weeks ago, I never received a prompt to download and install the 2.3.6 update. A few days after activating it, I went to "System updates" out of curiosity (not knowing there was a 2.3.6 update), and it said I had an update to download and install. Everyone is being impatient, but after an update is released, checking for it manually will often allow you to get it several days sooner than if you just wait for a prompt.

Thing is.... Not too many who were part of the soak test even got in on the first round because moto pulled it since everyone was cheesecaking their way in. So who knows where it even stands? Everything at this point is PURE SPECULATION. And people are getting all antsy as heck. Until we hear from a reputable source that either the soak test has started or that the update has gone live, there is no sense checking every 5 minutes for an update. It's silly.
Especially when there will be bugs. I've been through this enough times to know that It will be awesome, but there are reasons it's not released yet.

Don't get me wrong, I'm looking forward to ICS too... But it sure seems like a LOT of people are talking the word of a leaked (i.e. Who knows if it's true) screenshot from BB as PROOF that ICS is supposed to be here today.
No official word from VZW means that people are getting overly excited for something that's not likely to happen today.
... someone had to say it...

Agreed. That's why I said manually checking "after an update is released" will generally let you get it quicker than waiting for a prompt. But of course, it has to be released first for that to work. Constantly checking now is pretty darn silly.
True. But you could have waited a little longer to do it. The day is not over yet. I will sit here in this pumpkin patch until he arrives, Charlie Brown.
