Has it finished downloading the update?

That's what took the longest for me, then after that the install was 5 minutes or so.

If it hasn't even doanloaded the update then just unplug it and you should be fine (disclaimer: dont hold me responsible if it bricks it still)
I did this when updating the release firmware to the 11 version and i have been fine since then.

Are you running Vista by any chance? There are reports on Symbian-related forums about the recent release of Nokia Software Update experiencing issues under Vista for some people.

My laptop failed to boot into Windowsafter the install of the Vista SP1 update so I had to reformat and start again. Back to XP now, and the update went perfectly.
