There was some debate as to whether this aircraft would have the new voice alert system, replacing the familiar female voice with some American chap who isn't quite as 'alarming'. The report talks about the missing "one hundred feet" call, but as far as I am aware, the new aircraft have the message "one hundred" - Can anyone confirm or deny this as there was opinion that the new calls can get missed easily in a busy cockpit.

Not that I think this has much bearing on this particular accident. Passing 100ft at 1,000 fpm at a 22' nose up attitude, I can't think the 100ft call was going to provide much advanced notice.
