the steps of trashing iTunes along with two system files, restarting the machine, downloading iTunes 7.5 and installing it, plugging in the iPhone, restoring it. It then went through the whole routine of installing the software and updating firmware. I'm now waiting for syncing after restoring from my backup.

Yeah that's what I look forward to in a software update. Reminds me of another operating system....

It caused some usual nonsensical error code then required me to restore my iPhone losing all of my settings.
Didn't you sync first? I don't understand how you can lose all your settings. When you restore, it returns you to the last sync. The one time it happened to me (for 1.0.2), I lost my youtube bookmarks but everything else was exactly the same as before the update.

I did discover most of my settings were there, but restoring and resyncing took quite a while. My iPhone still keeps trying to replace all of my Contacts on my local computer. Overall it is done and over with. Next time I will just bypass the update to save any headaches. My iPhone works mostly fine as is.

160MB download? Even via EVDO, that's still a 10-30 minute download. I guess the Cupertino folks figure we're all wired for speed, and that bandwidth grows on trees not just Cupertino, but everywhere. Because by dial-up, I'm calculating it's a 6 hour download.
FWIW, I downloaded about 50MB of the update via iTunes when the network connection broke; iTunes apparently dumped the partial download, so I have to start from scratch! Unlike podcasts, clicking on the "pause all downloads" button in iTunes does NOT pause the software update download (so you can complete it later), but simply halts (and dumps) the data you've downloaded. WTF?
Goofy, as I know Apple's "Software Update" remembers partial downloads if the connection is lost/broke/paused, but apparently iTunes doesn't keep the partial packet? What Lame-o inconsistency across apps. I've already downloaded 300MB of data, and still don't have the update. /forums/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif
