Branded phones don't get the generic firmware updates when Nokia releases them. The phone's branding company (in this case O2) first has to review and approve the new firmware, before it becomes available for phones thus branded.
With most branding providers, O2 included, this takes a few weeks to a few months after Nokia first releases an update, so... patience is the only way.

I waited nearly a year for the firmware update to become available on the N95 - the Nokia Software updater kept telling me no updates were available. Eventually, by "stoke of luck" (sort of) I broke my phone, claimed a new one on the insurance and it turned up complete with the newer firmware!
So, in conclusion, don't hold your breath...
