BlackBerry Storm 9500 OS 4.7.0.173 Now Available from Vodafone UK

We've been so mixed up in OS leaks and 5.0 installations that we seem to forget that carriers are still updating their OS versions. Vodafone UK dropped the official 4.7.0.173 for the Storm 9500 over the weekend. Not the latest OS by far, but if you're one of the few that hold out for an official upgrade, this one is for you. No download for this one yet, but if you are a Vodafone 9500 owner you should be notified of the upgrade through Desktop Manager.
