Take note Google, Samsung, HTC, Motorola. This is how software updates are supposed to be deployed.

My iPhone is definitely faster and the battery life is much better.

Lol. Sorry, I just had to.

Glad the 'Unable to purchase' warning has gone from the appstore! :D

Can't wait until they allow us to download these updates over 3G... It's not really OTA until they do.

Is it possibly due to the hardware? I have a UK unlocked iPhone and I got the 3G toggle back in 5.1.
It's an AT&T thing. They took it away because they are poopoo heads.
