My Droid X was just updated to 1.13.604 and it started updating without any action on my part. There were several messages on the screen and then it stopped with something like "Restart your phone now" being highlighted. I let it sit for about 15 minutes and it didn't restart automatically so I pushed the camera button. The restart started immediately and then took somewhat longer than normal, maybe 5 minutes. Then I received the popup that 1.13.604 had been successfully installed. It's not the way the update is described above but it seems to be satisfactory.
