No go. The .bin file (very small) was removed after disconnecting the cable, and Update menu item remained disabled, as in "I already have this update". 5 bar signal near full charge, still getting 'unable to connect at this time, please try again later'.

Tried system reset. Still no luck. It takes forever to get bars (like 5 minutes), I think it may be issue with wireless provider, or provisioning in this geographic location. I'll try again from somewhere else. Maybe Amazon forgot to pay their Sprint bill.

But again: is there anyone here with a Kindle 1 that connects?
