You download the OS2008 binary file and the (windows) PC based updater from the Nokia site and then hold the home button with the USB port connected as you power up...

The update takes around 60 seconds (after the multiple hours it takes to get the bin file)!

If you are starting from scratch with a new machine the process should be painless. If you're trying to get a machine back to the configuration (applications etc) you had before it takes a lot longer due to the serve loads.
