So of the three MyTouch 4g phones in our house, mine didn't get the update. Now what do I do to get it?
 
We're in the same boat - one of three has never received the update. The word is that the rollout will be resumed when the bug has been fixed. However, with the new version already out on some phones, I wonder why there would be any work on a now older version.
 
Beginning March 15, the myTouch 4G software update will resume for devices on software 1.14.531.1 and 1.17.531.2. This is a two-part update. After both parts of the update, the devices will be updated to Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) / Software 2.32.531.1. This update will continue until April 15.

You cannot manually download the first part part of the update, and T-Mobile cannot push it to you. Please wait for the update.

Is there any way to get my hands on the last update, not the most recent?
I did the ota about two days ago, and since then I've experienced issues with my google widget, my browser, and swype. One of my biggest complaints is the way that swype operates now. It seems slower, more likely to pick the wrong words, and the new layout for special characters looks almost exactly like an iPhone. I don't know about anyone else, but I can't stand the iPhone keyboard. Please, somebody help! TMobile and LG have both told me they either can't or won't help me.
