Have all sorts of problems getting sensible info on getting the 0.75 OS upgrade because I am using BES and my IT refuse to support the Storm. (All sorts of threads say there is a problem getting 0.75 if using BES)

Checked the Vodaphone UK website and found a link directly to RIM's site. Are they now talking about a 0.86 OS update or am I being thick?

I am using 4.7.0.83 and LOVE it! It makes all the difference in the world. No more rebooting, far less lag time, better battery, way better bluetooth.
