Don't give up because many owners have reported having to try multiple times to get a good download. Check this out: http://www.entourageedge.com/forums/...date-Downgrade
Thanks for the advice it was just what I needed. I took the eDGe home and after a small glitch getting it to connect to my home wireless I started the upgrade app. On the second download it worked. Both downloads took about 10 minutes. The first booted back to Dingo 1.6. I immediately saw the difference in the second download.

Both were initiated from the notification bar but on the second install attempt I was presented with a screen very much like the initial startup screen when it first came out of the box. The screen looked like a large window frame with a horizontal bar through the middle. There were no other issues. FINALLY SUCCESS!!!.

Advice to all if you are waiting more than 15 minutes for the download to finish, shut the device down and try later in the day. My experience is that evenings are best. I got my about 7PM PST.
