Everyone with samsung phones got the update today, everyone with a nexus is still waiting.
I'm pretty sure one of the main selling points was OS updates before everyone else?
The update Samsung are doing at the moment is their initial release of KitKat which the Nexus devices have been on for the last 6 months. The update for the Nexus devices coming out now is 4.4.3, and the only Samsung devices getting that are the Google Play editions which aren't available in the UK.I'm pretty sure one of the main selling points was OS updates before everyone else?

just got home from work and checked again, still nothing, how do they go about sending the updates, is it from network to network or is it done some other way
When a new update is released, the delivery is staged. Initially only a small number of devices receive it, say 1%. If there are no major problems, the percentage is increase to 10%, and then maybe 25% and so on until everyone has it. When your device checks for an update, if it doesn't receive it then it won't in that round until google release the next batch. This process takes a couple of weeks after which your device will always get the update when it checks.They do this because it spreads the network load of several million devices all trying to update at once, and more importantly if a problem like a major bug is discovered, they can halt the roll out before everyone's device ends up with a broken release.
If you want to install it manually, you can download the .zip file for your device to your PC and use the adb tool to send it to the phone via USB. It's quite simple to do, but you need to install the android developer tools to do it.

Does anybody notice the volume freezes on screen when watching a video on YouTube et al? The volume can still be changed but the on screen indicator key just freezes.

Has this occurred more than once?phone was on the work surface the other day, screen turned off etc and I could hear a voice, picked up phone and it had called a mate..

Can't say I've ever had a phone doing this on it's own.

Not had the problem myself, but I can easily believe it.phone was on the work surface the other day, screen turned off etc and I could hear a voice, picked up phone and it had called a mate..

Suffered a few Android bugs, like home screens disappearing and email sync settings have changed since the last OS update. I've also had alarms fail to go off on more than one occasion which is a bug that I suffered on my first Android phone years ago...
