T-Mobile Updates Support Doc For HTC One S Update, Now OTA Only | | TmoNewsTmoNews

Originally, the documents said that we'd be able to get the update via pull (checking for new updates manually on the phone), now it was changed to push only, sometime between 6/4 and 7/7.

That's quite the large window.

Anyone get it yet? Please post when you do.

What happens if you get the push notification and don't immediately accept? Can you get it again right away or might it take a week or 2 to come around to you again?
