Does this update put a newer touchwiz on it? My wife's stratosphere has the newer touchwiz without the iphone style icons. I like that a lot better since it makes it easier to find apps since they don't all look square.

After update phone seems to be bricked. Locked up on "Samsung" boot screen for a few hours. Finally pulled the battery now it boots to the bootloader. However I am unable to move between the options to even try to get it back to factory.. Anyone with this issue had any luck?

I have had nothing but problems since I updated the software. My phone is constantly freezing, Google navigation doesn't even open. I called Verizon telling them about the software issues..They have no answers. How many times a day should I be taking my battery out just so I can send a text of make a call? So disappointed.

Did the they have you do a hard reset? Sounds to me like you have a faulty app conflicting with the update that causing your phone to freeze. Whoever told you there is nothing they can do needs to be fired. They should have told you to do a hard reset and if that didnt solve your problem , they should have sent you a replacement phone.

Have you tried the Google Navigation Freezing fix? I know if you open the Navigation, and it freezes, it basically hoses your phone until you do a battery pull. There are a bunch of people (Myself including) that have fixed the navigation issue by doing the following:
Remove the Google Maps app (Also the Street view, it will only do a "Remove Update"
Reboot phone, pull battery
Turn phone back on
Load Google Maps and update Street View
Try it
If it hangs again, then try the same thing again, but after you remove the app and reboot it, turn on Wireless and connect to an AP somewhere, then load Maps and street view again and try it. The 2nd method worked for me. I only had to turn on wifi the 1 time, since then it has worked every time.

I did do a hard reset on the phone. The phone still freezes constantly. I also tried the Google Maps Navigation Fix, it didn't work. They are sending me a refurbished one. Hope I don't have the same problems. This will be my 3rd Fascinate.

My issue with the 2.3.5 update was pretty big and made my phone nearly un-usable: After the installation was completed, my phone would so a "soft" reboot every 60 seconds or so. The download was fine, the install was fine, I saw all of the usual messages, but after it was done, the screen would go blank and I'd hear both the Samsung and Verizon startup tunes. It would take at least 20 seconds to be usable again, then I had about 40 seconds to try to figure out the problem before it would reboot again.
Needless to say, this was extremely annoying and frustrating, but I eventually figured out that it's something that was stored on my MicroSD card. Once I removed the card, the phone ran a heckova-lot faster for just about everything. I was getting very frustrated with my phone before the update since it would freeze up for 10 seconds or so fairly frequently, take several attempts to unlock it using a simple unlock pattern, and have lots of "lag" in responding to taps and swipes.
I'm thinking now that it was all due to something on my card. I started by copying all content to my PC, formatting the card on the phone, then copying everything back, but as soon as I did, the problems all came back again, especially the rebooting. I'm now in the process of copying only select items back to the card, one-at-a-time, to narrow down the problem. My card wasn't full by any means, but it had a bunch of stuff on it, so this process is making me clear out the clutter. It's nice that the phone came with a 16GB MicroSD card, but it seems that the phone will slow to a crawl if I fill it even half full.
So for anybody having trouble after the update, try pulling your memory card and see if your phone's problems disappear too.
