As far as I know, only technical folks refer to the release as update X. Marketing (including Sun's web site) will refer to it as Solaris N M/YY (N = Solaris release, M = month of release, YY = year of release). The first I knew, what I refer to as s10u4 was supposed to be released as Solaris 10 7/07. Schedules slipped and it was renamed Solaris 10 8/07. Schedules slipped a slight bit more and it came out in September 2007 (9/07) but marketing didn't feel it worthwhile to rename it. I'm pretty sure that Solaris 10 11/06 (update 3) was not available until December, 2006. Since I have no credible idea of when the next release of Solaris 10 will come out (or if it will come out...) I refer to it as update 5. My personal best guess is that it will be somewhere between March and May of next year. The real question I have is when will Solaris 11 come out? I've been rather surprised at the number of features (aside from those marketed at the Solaris 10 launch) have been backported to Solaris 10. I was particularly surprised when I heard in the last couple of weeks that ZFS root looks like it will make it into Solaris 10. (I'm not sure if I ran across this on install-discuss, caiman-discuss, or one of the installer conference calls.)
