Reader and Listener feedback:

Jay
HTC is not going to publish what they have fixed (or broken) with this new upgrade. I contacted HTC to find out if there is any release notes for this upgrade or if they can tell me what "enhancement" they are bringing in with this upgrade and below is what I got the response…
"Thank you for contacting us. In regards to release notes I can help you with that. We can not issue release notes for these updates as each one is different depending on the network branding that has been performed. I trust that this resolves your query, please do not hesitate to contact us again if required. Thank you for contacting HTC."

Hi thanks for trying to answer my question.. I won’t ask any further as nobody seemed to know. I would like to just let you know I live in Basingstoke for my sins. Basingstoke is not exactly highly populated and nobody I know has this issue but me. Worth me mentioning as Andy thought he had solved it…. be he hadn’t.

Thanks anyway..

Chris.

Dear MTA
I love the Northern Irish accent. Please fix it for me to hear Gareth say, on air, "How Now Brown Cow", twice.
Many thanks

Guys

There are hundreds of different tones,
On hundreds of mobile phones.
How can anyone pick out their ring,
In all the ring ding a ding ding a ding.
