If only a few files were updated, it could go quite quickly.
It certainly isn't five minutes for a "regular" OS update (like when I just applied the .81 Alltel update to my phone running the Sprint .71 version).
Also, did you click the box to backup and then restore your phone during the update?

No, I didn't check that box, but everything that was there before was there after, no problems.
My understanding is that there was a fix in this release, although the number was the same, relating to downloading apps to the phone using the Download Manager. Alltel users were reporting that they were getting an error message when trying to dowload apps via PC with the DM. On other forums they're now reporting that downloading this OS has fixed the problem.
I can't speak to that myself because I downloaded everything OTA. I figured I might as well download this, though, in case I wanted to.
