Hey. I finally decided to switch to the new SHR-T after using the old SHR-U because I was afraid of breakage and not having time to fix stuff on my own. As I expected, most of the bugs are ironed out now, but some remain.
The most annoying thing is that sometimes, multipart SMS I send are cut off. This happens only when my SIM card is full (I remember sending SMS via ogsmd required copying it to SIM and then sending). I guess that could be solved by copying messages from the SIM and always keeping some space on the card. Or at least presenting the user with a message along the lines of "You have to clean up your SIM card". The second most annoying thing was a bug in the new screen dimming feature. In some cases, using the phone irregularly causes the screen to get stuck in the half-lit mode. After a while, it dims again, but doesn't light up fully until restart. One more thing is Unicode support in SMS. I daresay it's actually unwelcome in many cases. Most mobile phones and SMS sending services convert Unicode to plain ASCII, because UCS-2 encoded messages are heavy and costly. Someone will say: "don't use Unicode signs". Well, that would be fine if the only input was a dumb keyboard, but our keyboards support dictionaries that do contain Unicode letters. My proposition is to mgive users choice to convert Unicode letters to their ASCII approximations. I would have done that myself, but I couldn't find my way through the C code responsible for that. I would happily extend the settings app though. Having said that, I have to admit that current SHR-t is the most comfortable image I've ever used! Being able to store all messages I receive is something I've been waiting for so long. The alarms app - it literally feels like someone was reading my mind! Last but not least, I'm happy to finally have a notes application. I used to write my notes down in text files, and that required running terminal and then the all-keyboard vi... BTW, there's a need for a finger-friendly text editor, too.
