OTA-8 update appeared today.

I didn't spot anything particularly exciting in the changelist, or spot (yet) and changes in the user experience.

Volume buttons can still mute the phone in your pocket.

Still no telnet available in the terminal - seems a glaring omission for a phone that only IT geeks are likely to buy. (Yes it's old, insecure, yada yada - but you don't always get to choose the equipment you have to work with)

Still no close button on apps (personal gripe) - I hate faffing around playing the sliding tile game to get rid of apps I'm not using, and I don't want to slide through a dozen unwanted tiles to find the app I want.

[edit : I did just find you can close apps with a long press on the sidebar / appbar WTF its called this week. Suspect that's been there a while, maybe all along, No way to tell. If only there was some documentation, or maybe a website (radical idea)]

Home screen still has a tile called 'messages', as well as the phone having an app called 'messages', but they don't do exactly the same thing, just similar. STUPID!

Basically hating this thing a little bit more each day
