There should be no dragons hidden in flashing generic firmware, really. The
main question is - should I really be bothered to do that, since I have
device capable receiving system updates OTA?!? Personally, I only regard
flashing as appropriate when I've entered major, non-fixable otherwise issue
with my device. I know it's quick to do, I know there's pretty good backup
app which restores nearly all my settings (apart from those I made manually
via CLI, obviously - but yet another annoyance after flashin) but... I am
really not finding this as the workaround for OTA update that just *should*
be there. I've been in that zoo for few years once (Windows Mobile, I am
looking at you!) where each system upgrade required a total havoc in device
and I am seriously very far away from entering similar area again.

For the record, I currently have generic UK firmware (.203) ver. PR1.1 and
I'm not happy about lack of PR1.1.1 in my application manager ready to
download. I can somewhat understand operator-specific fw upgrades being
delayed due to external acceptance procedure, but why oh why generic
editions are getting such delays too???
