You can not upgrade to the vodafone version because of the different chipset in the phones (verizon is set up for cdma) that said you can still update the phone to a higher version and it will work fine in the uk because it us a world phone. You can find in this section many threads on that latest os's available for the 9530. there are also detailed instruction here on how to upgrade to these os's. What you will want to do prior to going to the uk is call Verizon and have them unlock your phone(the sim specifically) so once you are in the uk you can swap out to a different sim card i.e. vodafone and have your billing go via the sim card. once you get everything upgraded unlocked and a new sim set up call verizon and cancel your service.
