I sure hope you get it working. Did you download and install from the phone itself or from iTunes? I did mine from the phone. I know from previous upgrades of the OS, it takes at least 10 minutes, but this time, it took longer. Three hours is definitely too long. You might wish to shut off your phone and re-initiate the update process. Hopefully, it will pick up where you left off. Good luck. I think we should recommend to Apple's accessibility team that audible tones be built into the update process so that we know something is occurring. I'm going to write them now and suggest this be added.
