After more than enough frustration with basic stuff in 2008.x and FSO, I tried SHR (image 08.12.16) and I'm quite happy with it. Mind you, I'm not an intensive neither extensive phone user but I can easily pin the GSM code, call and add contacts. I love the screen keyboard although I could not find it by myself initially. I'm now playing with GPS, and it works but I'm getting long fix times (tried only a night in a single place). Plenty of apps to try out yet.
