Got my new white iPhone 5 and I'm still restoring data from iCloud.

Anyone doing a restore onto an iPhone 5 succeeding OR having problems getting their bookmarks restored? I've already gotten all of my 1000s of contacts restored, all of my calendar items restored, all app data restored for any app that's been downloaded so far, but NONE of my safari bookmarks have shown up from iCloud.

Just to be clear, I have done all of the following

- Settings > iCloud > Safari has been turned on for my iPhone 4S (for the past year)
- Backed up iPhone 4S to iCloud last night, (and regularly before that)
- Syncing bookmarks between Mac and iPhone 4S has been working reliably
- Settings > iCloud > Safari has been turned on for my iPhone 5
- On iPhone 5 initial setup, Chose to restore to my last 4S iCloud backup
- Just now, tried turning off Settings > iCloud > Safari, and then after a wait, turned it back on

No luck

Given that all my other apple apps have their icloud data restored, and all downloaded apps have data restored, seems like this should have happened already for safari.

How's this working for you?
 
Working now

After finishing downloading all apps, still no bookmarks.

Rebooted, and now they're all there. Life is good
