I'm a little concerned, I might send out an email to our users.

I know for a fact that 99% of our users don't even know their phone has
wireless, not do they use it.  Heck, I don't even use mine ever.

Our phones are scheduled to get the update any day now.  And, all of our
corporate info is on 'Good Messaging', an encrypted sandbox, so I'm not too
worried about that aspect.
