No computer required! - For all users wishing to update who are still waiting for the official OTA update and cannot wait any longer, do not despair! There is another way, follow these instructions!
Note: These instructions are for users with stock ROM and stock recovery ROM (I.e. anyone who hasn't tried rooting their phone! See this page on MoDaCo forum for update instructions if you have rooted your Nexus already.)
Go to Android Market and search for AndroZip, Download & Install
Open your browser and type in http://tinyurl.com/ycfg2xr to open this page from your phone (unless your already reading this page on your phone!) then click one of the following links to download the update:
https://android.clients.google.com/u...9.a487b405.zip
OR THIS (Same file, different server)
http://www.romraid.com/paul/nexusone...9.a487b405.zip
Open AndroZip from the Apps menu (Do not open the ZIP directly from downloads menu)
From AndroZip, go to the ./sdcard/download folder
Hold down on the zip file you just downloaded until a menu appears, select 'Rename'
Rename the file to update.zip, press OK
Hold down on the zip file again, this time select 'Move'
Navigate to the ./sdcard folder (Root of SD Card) and press OK to move the file
Switch off phone, now hold the volume down key whilst pressing the On button, the Google Recovery menu should appear
Use up/down arrow keys and select 'Recovery' by pressing power key to select
Wait until a warning triangle appears then hold the volume UP key and the power key until another small menu fills the top of the screen Some users have found holding volume UP key first, then power key or other way round works better
Select 'apply sdcard: update.zip', press the trackball to select this time
Wait a couple of minutes until it asks you to reboot, select the reboot option (radio ROM now updates)
The phone will restart and take longer than usual to boot, once it has, the update is complete!
