If you are rooted, do not apply this update! Developer globatron over at xda is working on a way for rooted View users to safely apply this update, and we'll let you know when this is ready. If you decide to update anyway, you will run into potentially irreversible problems (I'm talking from experience here).
If you are unrooted have at it, enjoy, and let us know what you think!
[Sprint]
