Backlight works fine on a IP550 with 3.3.1 . I have mine set to off
when idle. I like that the 3.3.x series doesn't required the default
sip.cfg and phone1.cfg files. The structure of the XML seems cleaner
and more consistent.

The only bug I've seen with 3.3.1 is on the IP335. After dialing when
it connects the caller name and number jump 1 pixel higher, which
looks weird as it is close to the line. One 3.2.3 it didn't move up
and looked centered. However the scrolling caller id for incoming
calls make this minor annoyance worth the upgrade.
