The only issue I have had so far on my iPad2 is "No Service" for 3G in the status bar. Call to Apple Support (via my service provider) led me to re-set Network Settings....only a temporary fix. It reverts to "No Service" after a few hours. WiFi works fine.
I Upgraded my iPhone 4s using iTunes on my cable-connected PC......that seems to work fine. I am leaning toward the conclusion that the upgrade is just too big to be reliably pushed out over 3G or WiFi. Any RF transmission is subject to interference and noise. The fact that cellular BW is time-shared just makes it worse.
Thanks for the info. When I get time, will try the back-up, reset, restore process using iTunes on my PC.
I do think that Apple needs to act on this. Too many people are having problems. At the premium prices that Apple charges, people expect better. A complicated upgrade process does not have the Apple "feel" that has created brand loyalty. As a long-time PC (not Mac) user, I am sufficiently geeky to not be intimidated. However, that is not the user experience that is core to the Apple brand. Apple obviously can't be rotten to it's core
