Default Who has not been able to receive the ICS update in the US?

I'm curious to see if there are others in the US who can't get their tablet to recognize that there's an update available. If your tablet won't even recognize an update, then please post here and also add in whether or not you have a serial number in your software. (Go to Settings, About my tablet, status, and scroll down to "Serial Number".

I want to know if the serial number is the real culprit.

No update here either. Wiped my tab completely back to stock...didn't work.

I also have an unknown serial number. I can't afford to exchange because I need this thing for school...

Okay so 2/2 folks in the US who can't get the update to launch have unknown serial numbers. (side note: I can't even get the update to work when I download the android police file and update it that way- it gives an unknown error every time)

@justlou- does that mean you are in the US and weren't able to get your system to recognize that there was an update available?
@leaking- someone smarter than I would have to answer that, but I'd imagine you'd need root to do it, and it appears as though we can't get root access either without serial numbers.

No. You can't even root without the serial number.

just wanted to report i have no serial number listed in the about section, and got not OTA last night until i did a factory reset.

i'm located in seattle,wa

that said when i did the factory reset i skipped adding my google account, just did the wifi part of the initial setup and skipped the rest, the reason i did this is i didn't want a bunch of updates and apps being pushed through trying to resynch my google accounts with the tablet, try doing that way, go stright from wifi setup to search for new updates.

my s/n on the unit is as follows s/n:bcokas024xxx (the little sticker next to the charging port)
