@adactio i’m getting a kickstarter together to hire a ninja to find the manager who signed it off and have a word. Put you down for £10?

@adactio I still have no idea why people insit on using any alerts I use vibration patterns!

@brucel @adactio have him and it silenced- badabing

@adactio It can’t be 1/2 as bad as the previously ubiquitous Nokia tone.

@adactio This is all I heard when in public in Hong Kong; on busses, on trains, in crowds. Grating.

@adactio oh that one drives me mental too! I’m glad it’s not just me. Such an obnoxious sound.
