Got my update on Monday morning. Not much new, most useful things:
1. Check for updates in market
2. Smoother scrolling and loading in messaging
3. You can delete an alarm by long clicking

There isn’t really anything much different … so far people have noticed

1) Abiity to mark comments as spam, long hold the ‘report as spam’ (in the market)
2) Locale settings
3) Check for System Updates

……… that’s about it!

Cheers Paul,

I also got mine this morning, I’m in London.

I’m a bit disapointed to say the least!

I got mine this morning in Manchester.
Noticed the smoother scrolling in text message screen and ‘updates available’ notes in the market, but not a great deal else…

Few questitions?

1) Where abouts in the UK do you live?
2) What time did the OTA update come through?
3) Was your phone battery fully charged, or on charge?
4) Was you connected to WiFi at the time or 2/3G ?

Thanks.

Judging from the rc33 US update, there won’t be any cupcake elements, don’t know of any battery improvements but I hope so. From what I gather however, the android market will be updated to allow for paid applications, the ability to report spam on comments left on the market, and google voice search. However, on the iphone version of voice search it apparently had problems understanding british accents, so I’ve heard a rumour that we might have to wait for google to iron it out abit. Best thing will be paid apps though, bit more incentive for companies to build us some decent apps, rather than a load of tip calculators. No idea when it’ll be released but I can’t imagine it’ll be too long.
