When I do an upgrade on a 7510, it zaps the phone first and then sits at the 507 screen for a few minutes it seems while the desktop says it is trying to connect to the handheld.

I really can't see an OTA upgrade working in any way without a ton of code. It has to have all the wireless stuff (cdma, gsm or iDEN). It has to locate your BES, sign in with an authorized account over an encrypted connection. Download 6 to 10 megabytes of OS (which would probably take a good 20 or 30 minutes over GPRS depending on cell activity. Flash into the phone all without losing power.
