  3. Don't do this when you're in a hurry. You'll want to have a couple of hours free, partly in case of trouble, and partly to have time to play with new features!
Yep, I got stuck in the bootloader last night because I have a 64-bit machine. I had taken the time to read through a bunch of the posts, which helped me figure out what to do.

It was worth it to see the GPS lock in. Okay, so it thinks I'm next door, but considering I'm not moving and I'm in the corner of the home office that's just a few yards from the house next door, that's about as close as I was expecting.

Now to go restore contacts and software!
WOW!!! What a refreshing respite from the "Help I bricked my phone because I did not want to read about upgrading before blindly trying it" posts.

May the Schwartz be with you!
