Hi, Like others on the list, I was a member of the 96% club, but after a bit, while I was on a call on my land line, the update finished up and the phone announced that it was about to restart. Naturally, speech went away and all activity appeared to stop, at least audibly. While I waited, and waited... and waited some more, I took the opportunity to install the latest iTunes on my laptop. When that was done, I unplugged and reconnected the phone, and iTunes told me that the phone was at IOS 6.0.
Somehow I got speech back on the phone but I really can't say exactly how that happened. When it did, there was an iPhone icon in the center of the screen and another one at the bottom, which, when I found it, was spoken in some sort of foreign language that sounded vaguely Asian but I couldn't say if it was Chinese or Korean; I really have no idea. I tapped the iPhone icon and was told to enter my Apple ID password so that I could set up iCloud and iMessage. Once I did this, and dealt with the obligatory license agreement and yadayadayada, lo and behold, my Home screen appeared and I breathed a sigh of relief. So all appears to be well, and my first impression is that my iPhone 4 seems to be a bit snappier in its response, but time will tell. Just wanted to recount my experience with the update.

I think it's been off for about 10 minutes. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VIPhone" Google Group.
