UPDATE 5/12 - A lot of people have confirmed that they received the OTA, but very few on this forum. There is a lot of fear among the leakers as to whether we will receive it or not, so several of us are setting up to copy the log when the update arrives on any of our phones running 1.5. Should we be able to successfully do this, we may be able to post a link to download the OTA directly. KEEP YOUR FINGERS CROSSED!
UPDATE 5/11 - The Update has officially started rolling out. HTC has confirmed that the update has begun and will continue to roll out over the next two weeks. We are getting reports that most users will receive the update within the next 48 hours though.
