Unable to Check for Update

I have an issue updating my iPhone to iOS 5.1

I wanted to download the update over the air, I tap on Check for Update and then it's checking for update for long time and at the end there is a communicate "Unable to Check for Update. An error occured while checking for a software update".The same thing is on my iPod touch.


What can I do, if I don't wanna update via iTunes?


I have iOS 5.0.1, don't have jailbreak.

iPhone 4S, iOS 5.0.1
