I haven't received any such message, but Rogers tells me they're now supporting up to Firmware 300. When I ran the osoftware updater, however, ie didn't even recognize my phone. Oh well, not a big deal for the moment, since everything works perfectly. Hopefully this will be sorted out down the road.
