The size of the update is larger than what the OTA Updates can accommodate. That said, depending on the Android Phone you have (i.e., either the HTC Hero or the Samsung Moment), the size for the Moment Upgrade is approximately 80+ MB and for the HTC Hero this is in excess of 115 MB approximately.

I hope it is soon. I am not sure how much those reps know though. I want the update to be right though too. I don't mind the wait as long as it is a good update.

Here is an interesting read. Just not sure if it is entirely accurate or not.
