re: the trailing dot, that was a mistake. We don’t think it’ll cause any trouble with the operation of the phone.
w.r.t. EPM, I can’t speak to that; it’s usually not too long. The phones QA group has to clear something out before the EPM team does their work and clears it.
We pushed it by one client via EPM custom firmware, so far so good. They actually said that there’s an improvement in the handset speaker. (headset they didn’t notice any difference)
