Help OTA Didn't "Push" for me...anyone else?

I was playing around with my phone the other day and it caused a reset. When it came back up it said I had the OTA update available. I installed, all is well. But, my wife still hadn't received the update. Out of curiosity I told her to power cycle her phone. Sure enough, when it came up, she had the OTA.

We do not power our phones off at night; simply plug them in. Do you always have to power cycle the phone to received the pushed OTA updates? Who knows how long it had been sitting there waiting for me to reset it. I assumed I would get a notification that an OTA was available, just like I do with app updates through Marketplace.

So, FYI, if you haven't received OTA yet, try power cycling your phone.
