Oh dont worry, it turned on, and Android 2.3 looks FUCKING AMAZING.

Update is definitely worthwhile.
Battery performance is much better.
Wifi tethering works fine.
Unlock feature has four options (> unlock, ^ phone, < message,v camara).
Volume buttons unlock feature has been disabled…
Furthermore the User Interface has been approved slightly (gingerbread).
Last but not least, some pre-installed (demo) X5 apps are luckily gone and won't draw the battery empty!
In my case I had to add the APN manually to have internet.
Please lookup these settings for your provider.
Update can be performed from the build-in internal 2gB SD-Card.
Just create a dload directory and put the update.app file in.
See pdf file for further instructions!
The update is also for pro version of ideos x5??In italy sold by vodafone.
The U8800 PRO had the Gingerbread update already available in nov. 2011.
For the PRO version please use this software.
